Former President Donald Trump is calling for a probe of Facebook leader Mark Zuckerberg after a watchdog group alleged that a Georgia county accepted money from a Zuckerberg-funded group despite a state ban on outside funding for elections.
Mr. Trump, who frequently says the 2020 election was stolen from him, pointed to a formal complaint from the Honest Elections Project that calls for a state investigation into the $2 million that DeKalb County accepted this month from a Zuckerberg-aligned group.
Conservatives complained the “Zuck Bucks” overwhelmingly went to liberal districts and amounted to outside influence in elections, so Georgia passed a ban on outside money for elections in its the Election Integrity Act of 2021. “The county is pleased to be a recipient of this funding in support of the elections department’s ongoing efforts to serve as a model for election integrity not just in Georgia but throughout our nation,” said DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond.
Mr. Trump piled on the pressure, claiming there is a double standard in the justice system as he faces a long-running federal probe into his actions following the 2020 election.
