        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The richest man in the world is willing to testify before lawmakers probing anti-competitive business practices in Silicon Valley, according to reports.</p><p>In <strong>a letter</strong> obtained by the Wall Street Journal, attorneys for the e-commerce juggernaut pledged to make Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos &#8220;available to testify at a hearing with the other CEOs this summer,&#8221; ending a month-long stare-down between the two parties.</p><p>Bezos&#8217; availability will be contingent on the two sides coming to an agreement on format and the House Judiciary Committee&#8217;s request for internal documents, according to the report.</p><p>The committee has <strong>sought Bezos&#8217; testimony</strong> about allegations that Amazon uses data collected from third-party vendors to guide the creation of new products under its house brands.</p><p>The Wall Street Journal last month reported that Amazon would identify best-selling products from vendors in order to copy them and sell their own version. Based on the report, Amazon&#8217;s prior statements to Congress &#8220;appear to be misleading, and possibly criminally false or perjurious,&#8221; committee members wrote to Bezos.</p><p>The report is problematic for Amazon in part because the company has denied such practices.</p><p>Amazon associate general counsel Nate Sutton told Congress in July, “We don’t use individual seller data directly to compete.”</p><p>An Amazon spokesperson did not immediately respond to The Post&#8217;s request for comment.</p><p>Shares of Amazon were down 0.4 percent Monday afternoon, at $2,534.89.</p>]]></content:encoded>
