WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Mike Lee sent a letter to Google on Tuesday saying they were "deeply troubled" by what they called a possible attempt to influence witness testimony following a statement at a congressional hearing by a Match executive.

During the hearing, Match's Chief Legal Officer Jared Sine said a Google executive had called Match to ask why Sine's planned testimony, which had just been released, deviated from previous comments the dating company had made.
