WASHINGTON: A US congressional hearing scheduled for next week to question the CEOs of Facebook Inc, Amazon.com Inc, Google parent Alphabet Inc and Apple Inc is set to be delayed, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The hearing before the antitrust panel of the House of Representatives Judiciary committee had been set for Monday but will be postponed because Representative John Lewis will be lying in state, the sources said. Civil rights leader Lewis will lie in state in the Capitol from Monday to Wednesday.
