Senator Ben Ray Lujan, the top Democrat on the Senate subcommittee that oversees the Federal Communications Commission, said on November 10 that lawmakers plan to call FCC Chair Brendan Carr to testify repeatedly next year, when Democrats take control of Congress.
Lujan said he expected Carr would be called to appear at least monthly, saying Carr "has been evading questions and ignoring his responsibilities."
The remarks were reported by Reuters. No hearing dates, invitations or committee schedule were given, and the plan rests on Lujan's stated expectation rather than a formal decision.
