Mr. Nix is the former head of Cambridge Analytica. To me, it was just very interesting. It kind of struck me last night, when I was watching it.... When we sit in the House until 12 o'clock at night, one thing we do is watch what the U.K. is doing; I'll admit it. The concern for me as chair—I think it's what we share as chairs on the U.S. side and in the U.K.—is that we're only looking at a couple of companies. This is my concern, I guess. Are we just scratching the surface here?

Chris Vickery

Yes. We, you, each of the committees, are scratching the surface. It is my firm belief that much more will be uncovered.
