How Russia's Meddling Became Facebook's Problem

Russian election meddling...

The spotlight in the Russian election meddling scandal turns to Facebook.

Facebook finds itself at the red-hot center of the investigation into Russia's clandestine involvement in the 2016 U.S. election, Sarah Frier reports on bloomberg.com.

The social-media giant said it has so far found $100,000 in advertising spending linked to the Internet Research Agency, a Russian troll farm with ties to the Kremlin, Frier wrote.

Facebook turned over details on the ads to Congress and to Robert Mueller, who is leading the criminal investigation into Russia's campaign meddling and possible links to President Donald Trump's associates, she added.
