The announcement came ahead of Wednesday's hearing by the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations , which is expected to focus on PIF's investments and efforts to gain influence in the United States. Earlier this year Blumenthal had requested Greg Norman, CEO of LIV Golf, and Yasir al-Rumayyan, governor of the PIF which backs LIV, to testify before a U.S. Senate panel in July but both declined, citing scheduling conflicts.
