Sen. Richard Burr said Tuesday that committee members agreed that the panel should hold a public hearing after it was revealed earlier this month that hundreds of phony Facebook accounts, likely run from Russia, spent about $100,000 on ads aimed at stirring up divisive issues during the 2016 campaign.
The North Carolina Republican said it’s “just a question of when, and potentially the scope of what that hearing would be.”
Facebook has briefed members of Congress and also provided the ads and other information to special counsel Robert Mueller.
