Tech giants in the us today pushed back against the idea that their platforms were used by russia to meddle in the brexit referendum. In the first ever hearing of a Parliamentary Select Committee outside the uk, british mps grilled the us companies about outside interference in the Brexit Campaign. The Tech Companies said they did have evidence of interference in the us 2016 president ial election but very little in the uks referendum on europe. The chair of the the digital, culture, media and sport committee, damien collins, has struggled to get information from the companies which is why they came to washington. Heres what the Committee Refers to as interference. Would you be prepared to conduct the same analysis which he did in the United States for the uk looking at potential russian interference in about the referendum 7 we are willing to cooperate into the investigation into whether there was any interference in the elections in the uk. We have conducted a thorough investigation

All of this is out there for the legislators, the media and the National Republican king makers to see. The notion that this tight skrooutny on governor christie represents a partisan attack today lost out to the fact that we are now hearing real officials talking real official business i
