The tech giant Facebook told Congress that ads representing 'foreign interference' in America's election system continued after Donald Trump won the White House – and appeared designed to hurt him.
Much of the focus on Russian involvement has come as part of a larger story that suggests Moscow instead sought to help Trump win the White House over Hillary Clinton.
But
Facebook General Counsel Colin Stretch said in a Senate Judiciary
Committee hearing that while his company first spotted the ads in the
presidential primary season two years ago, they continued to run
'following the election.'
'We saw this
concerted effort to sow division and discord,' Stretch explained. 'In
the wake of the election – and now-President Trump's election – we saw a
lot of activity targeted at fomenting discord about the validity of his
election.'
