Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview Monday morning that he wasn’t willing to divulge what he and President Donald Trump talked about in a previously secret dinner at the White House in October, calling the conversation a “private discussion.”
Zuckerberg was responding to a question from CBS This Morning anchor Gayle King on the dinner, which was made public on November 20.
“We talked about a number of things that were on his mind and the topics that you’d read in the news around our work,” said Zuckerberg.
King pressed the social media CEO on the conversation.
“People will say the optics weren’t good,” King said of the dinner, which was also attended by Facebook investor and Trump supporter billionaire Peter Thiel.
“Did he try to lobby you in any way?” King asked, referring to reports that the president used the dinner as a venue to complain about his view of the treatment of conservatives on the social media platform.
“I want to respect that it was a private discussion,” said Zuckerberg.
