Republican Reps. Jim Jordan (Ohio) and Matt Gaetz (Fla.) sent a letter (pdf) to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos requesting a briefing on his company’s AmazonSmile charity support program which the lawmakers say excludes some conservative non-profit organizations from participating.

The briefing would require Bezos to clarify to Congress how AmazonSmile uses information from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to make eligibility determinations for its program.
