Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Oct. 22 to subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify about how their companies handled a New York Post report last week about Hunter Biden, son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

The panel voted 12–0 to compel the testimony of Dorsey and Zuckerberg. Democrats on the committee had boycotted the session in protest of the committee’s earlier vote to advance the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
