The sex stories and videosCambridge Analytica scandal isn't going away. In fact, it's heading straight to Washington, D.C.
Christopher Wylie tweeted early Saturday morning that he would soon testify in front of Congress. Wylie made international waves when he came forward in a Guardian story to blow the whistle on the now infamous data analytics firm that misappropriated Facebook user data and worked on behalf of Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

"Democracies around the world are under threat from malicious actors who seek to use social media as an information battleground. We must take this seriously."

The invitation he spoke of was signed by Representative Adam Schiff of California, and provides a few hints as to what questions Wylie will likely face. Spoiler, they're about Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, and Russia.
"If your clients's account and documentation is accurate," wrote Schiff about Wylie, "this misappropriation of private data is a serious invasion of the privacy interests of the American people by Cambridge Analytica and potentially other individuals and entities, and raises important questions about Cambridge Analytica's activities on behalf of then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign during the 2016 U.S. elections, the specific roles of persons of interest, including Steve Bannon and Robert and Rebekah Mercer, as well as the firm's ties to Russia."
This of course follows on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's testimony earlier this month in front of the Senate's Judiciary and Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committees, as well as the House's Energy and Commerce Committee.
At this point, however, it's not clear when exactly Wylie will testify or if his testimony will be public. We reached out to Congressman Schiff's office for comment but received no response as of press time.
Either way, that Wylie is heading to Washington proves the story of Cambridge Analytica isn't going away anytime soon — which is appropriate, after all, as neither is the fallout from the firm's alleged actions.
