Overview
- Jonathan Karl’s new book reports that Mark Zuckerberg met Pam Bondi at the Justice Department on March 12, 2025, then met President Trump at the White House later that day.
- Zuckerberg sought guidance on how to “effectively” communicate Meta’s concerns to the president, according to the book.
- The reported meeting occurred weeks before the FTC’s antitrust trial against Meta, which ran in April and May, with a ruling still pending.
- If the government prevails, potential remedies include forcing Meta to divest Instagram and WhatsApp.
- Spokespeople for Meta and Bondi declined to comment, and the account has surfaced through the book rather than official disclosures.
