Suspended Cambridge Analytica CEO to appear before UK parliamentary committee

LONDON (Reuters) - The suspended chief executive of political consultancy Cambridge Analytica, Alexander Nix, will appear before a British parliamentary committee, the Culture, Media and Sport Committee said on Wednesday.

The session will be Nix's second appearance before the committee and is likely to take place on April 17.
