Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday confirmed that Facebook is working with the special counsel investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election and potential collusion with the Trump campaign.
The revelation came during Zuckerbergs appearance in front of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee joint hearing on Facebook.
Asked by Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT) whether the special counsel team had subpoenaed Facebook, he responded, I actually am not aware of of a subpoena. I believe that there may be, but I know were working with them.
During the more than five-hour hearing, Democrats sought to cast blame on Facebook for allowing Cambridge Analytica to possibly influence the campaign.
Cambridge Analytica is a political data firm the Trump campaign hired to target audiences with campaign ads. A Russian-American psychology professor at the university built an app that would harvest data for Cambridge Analytica. Facebook was allegedly told it was for a research project, not to be monetized and given to a firm.
The app may have harvested as many as 87 million Facebook users data, although the numbers are unclear.
Klobuchar also tried to draw a link between Cambridge Analytica and Trumps win, asking what states those potentially targeted lived in.
Zuckerberg said he did not have the information with him, but he could follow up with her office.
OK, because as we know, that election was close, and it was only thousands of votes in certain states, she said.

NO MENTION of Hussein using Cambridge Analytical, wonder why. Not really.
See mommy....I’m a big boy now.
There was no collusion with the damn Russians!
Plus, collusion is not a crime. So there’s that. But facts are stupid so let’s not use them.
What good are they? They are the same jackasses telling Trump that he better not fire Mueller.
When is Zuckerberg going to admit that Facebook is a CIA/NSA front?
Never.
” How long has Facebook been domestic SPYING for N.S.A. - C.I.A. inside the United States to circumvent Church Committee Era Laws ? “
——— THIS Question is Why Zuck
was NOT under OATH !
That picture needs to be posted EVERYWHERE.
Face Book is in collusion with Weasel Mueller to sack PDJT.
Not that Congress cares one whit.
Does he still hope to be the Democrats nominee for the 2020 election? Please tell me yes!
Is that a hemorrhoid cushion he is sitting on???
Mueller is doing everything, breaking every law possible to get Trump to fire him. We all know that should Trump actually do that, he would eventually be impeached for dumping the “special counsel”. As the author of “The Art Of The Deal”, Trump is not taking the bait. Mueller has a life time career leading the out of control group of demodummies picked for that witch hunt. Who will/can stop them?
blame on Facebook for allowing Cambridge Analytica to possibly influence the campaign.
You want to know what influenced the campaign in the 2016 election? The fact that one candidate, Hillary Clinton is a lying, corrupt, criminal, POS. Beyond that there was nothing that anyone could do or say that would have influenced my vote in that election.
What is he sitting on?
Same reason Hillary was not put UNDER OATH during her testimony.
Its a brief case full of jump-drives holding all the Cambridge meta-data.
Just in case a Senator wants to buy a few jumps.
Meaning that FB has better ways of snooping on people than law enforcement, and that FB will not be accused of violating the accused’s “rights,” while law enforcement would be, and the case thrown out.
