Sen. Elizabeth Warren hammered Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for attending a previously undisclosed dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House, accusing the tech mogul's company of cozying up to the administration as it faces mounting pressure over its competitive practices from federal regulators.

Amid antitrust scrutiny, Facebook is going on a charm offensive with Republican lawmakers, Warren tweeted from her campaign account. And now, Mark Zuckerberg and one of Facebook's board members a major Trump donor had a secret dinner with Trump. This is corruption, plain and simple.

NBC News reported Wednesday that Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel a Facebook board member and one of Trumps most prominent allies in the tech sector broke bread with Trump and first lady Melania Trump during a recent Washington swing.

As is normal for a CEO of a major U.S. company, Mark accepted an invitation to have dinner with the President and First Lady at the White House, a Facebook spokesperson said, confirming the gathering.

Its Zuckerberg's latest closed-door meeting with a Washington leader in recent months, a series of sessions that arrives as the Silicon Valley giant faces political headwinds from regulators and lawmakers alike. In September, Zuckerberg quietly held several meetings and at least one dinner with lawmakers, many of them prominent Republicans, to discuss concerns about the companys conduct.

Warren, a 2020 presidential contender, has been an outspoken campaign trail critic of Facebook, calling for federal regulators to break up the company.

Facebook is the reason the dems lost, but the republicans are oppressed there. Who is Facebook really working for?

I see the usual suspects are trying to deflect away from the whole secret meeting part. Guess they just don't want to admit they love the corruption.

Is it normal for CEOs to have private dinners in the White House? Is it normal for the White House to try to keep knowledge of the dinners a secret? The answer is yes. Move it along people nothing to see here.

Both Trump and Zuckerberg are garbage tier human beings. Wonder if they ate KFC while strategizing 2020.
