Brit Politicians Call Zuckerberg "Cowardly"

Description

Mark Zuckerberg has been branded "cowardly" and "absolutely astonishing" by British politicians. This after rejecting a request to appear before a Parliamentary committee following the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The Facebook CEO was hit by a barrage of criticism in the UK on Tuesday. He refused to appear before a Parliamentary select committee inquiry and offered up two senior executives in his place. On Tuesday, it was reported that the 33-year-old chief exec would testify before US Congress. His team, though, have confirmed he doesn't plan to head the British Parliament's request. Tom Watson MP, deputy leader of the Labour Party, tweeted, "This isn't just cowardly. It's completely unacceptable."

Business Insider reports Trump continues to falsely claim victory. On Sunday, the President of the United States also expressed confusion and outrage at the well-known, longstanding process of news outlets calling the election. However, the Associated Press has been the 'gold standard' for calling races for decades. The news organization has been 'counting the vote' since 1848.

Former John McCain Aide Recounts Tense Phone Call With Trump After Inauguration

As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump famously denied that the late Arizona Sen. John McCain was a hero. Trump said he liked people who 'didn't get caught.' Now, former McCain aide Mark Salter claims in a new book that the senator had a tense phone call with President Donald Trump, shortly after the 2017 inauguration. According to Business Insider, Salter says in the book that Trump appeared angry about McCain's withdrawing his endorsement during the presidential election. After some back-and-forth, McCain said he'd withdrawn his endorsement of Trump over the notorious Access Hollywood recording. But the call calmed down and Trump gave McCain his cellphone number. However, McCain later told his aide he 'lost the number.'
