SEE ALSO: Watch out, Apple—Google's new lineup is here and it's pretty amazingRepresentatives from the tech giants will answer Congress's questions about the 2016 election in a public forum for the first time. The companies have each cooperated with federal investigators privately and held meetings with lawmakers behind closed doors.
Facebook was the first tech giant to publicly agree to testify earlier this month. The decision arrived just as Sen. Richard Burr and Sen. Mark Warner held a press conference on Oct. 4 to provide updates on their investigation on Russia's interference. Twitter agreed shortly thereafter.
A Bloombergreport Thursday profiling Google CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed Google's participation. A Google spokesperson confirmed the report to Mashable.
“There’s clearly stuff which shouldn’t be happening which happened, so we should fix it,” Pichai told Bloomberg. “Anytime we make a mistake, it’s very public for the world to see.”
Google had turned over evidence to the federal investigation, which included $4,700 in ads tied to the Russian government, The New York Timesreported. Google investigators discovered Russian-linked accounts bought political ads on YouTube and Google AdWords.
The companies have not said which executives will take the stand.
