Facing pressure from lawmakers, users, advertisers, and investors following the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly agreed to make an unprecedented appearance before the US Congress to explain the mess his company has caused.

Facebook has sent lawyers or lower-level executives to Congress in the past. But this time, it will be Zuckerberg fielding questions from lawmakers, according to CNN, based on information from anonymous sources. The Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees have both invited the CEO, and it’s not clear which hearing he is slated to attend. Facebook has not confirmed the news, and a spokesperson for the commerce committee told Recode that nothing was set in stone.
