The Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee has set a Thursday vote on whether to initiate contempt of Congress charges against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, citing his alleged failures to fully comply with the committee’s subpoena.

On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee announced a Thursday afternoon markup hearing, with one of the items on the agenda being to take up a report recommending that the panel cite Mr. Zuckerberg for contempt of Congress.
