WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Twitter Inc. missed a deadline on Monday to provide the U.S. Senate Intelligence committee with information about alleged Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election, a spokeswoman for the committee’s top Democrat, Senator Mark Warner, said on Tuesday.
The social media company had been asked to provide written answers to questions from the intelligence panel as it conducts one of the major congressional investigations into the alleged Russian activity and alleged collusion between Republican President Donald Trump’s campaign and Moscow.
Russia denies any election meddling and Trump has denied any collusion.
Facebook and Google met the intelligence committee deadline.
Twitter said it “looked forward to finalizing” its responses to the intelligence committee soon.
