The blockbuster congressional hearing with Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai has been rescheduled for Wednesday at 12 p.m. EDT.

The hearing, which was set to be held by the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee on Monday, was postponed in order to allow lawmakers to attend a service for Rep. John Lewis. Lewis, a beloved civil rights leader known as the "conscience of the U.S. Congress," died at age 80 on July 20. Lewis will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda on Monday, congressional leaders announced, and there will be an invite-only ceremony for him at 1:30 p.m. EDT — an hour and a half after the hearing was originally supposed to start.
