Mark Zuckerberg, embattled as Facebook faces a slew of government investigations, meets with members of Congress on Capitol Hill via ReutersTV
WASHINGTON - Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg met with President Donald Trump on Thursday during a fence-mending visit to Washington where the chief executive faced aggressive questioning from lawmakers about the social network’s failures to protect consumer privacy.
Wearing a suit and tie rather than his usual hoodie, Zuckerberg met on Thursday, the second day of the three-day visit, with Senators Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton and Mike Lee. He also had dinner with lawmakers, including Senator Richard Blumenthal, on Wednesday evening. Hawley has accused Facebook of suppressing conservative speech including when it found this month that statements on the anti-abortion group Live Action’s Facebook page were false and temporarily restricted access to it.
