Chuck Grassley hopes Facebook hearing doesn't get 'down in the weeds about the election'

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley said Tuesday he’s hoping to keep today’s hearing with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg focused on data privacy, and not on how Russia used Facebook to meddle in the election.

“I hope we don’t get down in the weeds about the election, because this is more about privacy and all the data that this company collects about people, and the protection of that data, and the protection of privacy,” he said. “That ought to be our main focus.”
