Meanwhile, other individuals who held high-ranking positions with Facebook - now called Meta - also have ties to Democratic politicians. Sheryl Sandberg served as Meta's chief operating officer before stepping down in August. She previously served as the Treasury Department's chief of staff for President Bill Clinton. In 2016, Sandberg appeared in the hacked emails of John Podesta, a close Clinton ally who founded the Center for American Progress and now acts as a senior energy adviser to President Biden. She's maxed out donations to several Democratic politicians, including Pelosi.
