The CEOs of Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook have agreed to testify at a hearing at the end of the month as part of a congressional antitrust investigation into the power of online platforms.

Why it matters: The high-profile hearing will let lawmakers directly question company leaders before releasing a report that will detail the findings of their year-long probe and possibly recommend changes to antitrust law.

Details: The agreement to appear before the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee was first reported by The New York Times.

People familiar with the planning told Axios the CEOs expect to appear virtually, likely in the last week of July, although the sources cautioned that could change.
