What is the context for this being hosted at house.gov? I didn't follow the hearings THAT closely. Was this particular letter discussed?


The hearings the other day were just one part of the subcommittees anti-trust investigation.

This constitutes the evidence gathering/discovery part of the investigation.


How did the House find this email? Did one of the recipients leak if to the committee, or did Apple have to deliver all emails of this type?


It's evidence submitted as part of the House hearings from July 29th where the CEOs of Apple/Amazon/Google/Facebook testified.


I am not sure, but would guess that someone (a member of the house) put it on the record, so that they could discuss the issues it brings up.
