Patricia Dunn, former chairman of Hewlett-Packard, testifies Thursday before a subcommittee of the House of Representatives on the company’s probe into media leaks. \r\n
\r\nA chief topic: the probe’s use of pretexting, a deceptive method for acquiring the personal records of individuals. Beside her is HP’s outside counsel, Larry Sonsini.
The House panel called on a number of people from within HP’s executive ranks, as well as outside investigators. Before the questioning got to Dunn, many exercised their Fifth Amendment right not to provide testimony. \r\n
