Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, is calling on Elon Musk to answer questions about Twitter’s security and privacy issues that his predecessor has failed to provide.

In a letter (pdf) to Musk released on Nov. 23, Grassley expressed concerns about how the information collected by Twitter could fall into the hands of foreign powers, including China. He pointed to records and testimony provided by Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, a whistleblower who served as Twitter’s head of security before being fired in January.
