Facebook had its hands full over the weekend after one of the company's executives issued a series of defensive tweets in response to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's indictment of 13 Russians.
Facebook ad exec Rob Goldman took issue with the way the indictment portrayed Russian ad buys on the social network.
President Trump amplified Goldman's claims by retweeting them to his own 48 million followers.
Under increased scrutiny, Goldman softened his stance and on Monday issued an internal apology to Facebook.
According to Wired, the Facebook exec said, "I conveyed my view poorly. The Special Counsel has far more information about what happened [than] I do -- so seeming to contradict his statements was a serious mistake on my part."
Facebook announced it would begin verifying political ads by mailing postcards to potential buyers.
