A Facebook spokesperson said its internal investigation into allegations of anti-conservative bias will continue despite its leader, former Sen. Jon Kyl, being appointed to fill the late Sen. John McCain's seat.
Why it matters: President Trump seized on concerns last week about conservative voices being limited by web platforms, despite a lack of hard evidence behind them.

Former special counsel Robert Mueller responded to claims from President Trump and his allies that Roger Stone was a "victim" in the Justice Department's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, writing in a Washington Post op-ed published Saturday: "He remains a convicted felon, and rightly so."
Why it matters: The rare public comments by Mueller come on the heels of President Trump's move to commute the sentence of his longtime associate, who was sentenced in February to 40 months in prison for crimes stemming from the Russia investigation. The controversial decision brought an abrupt end to the possibility of Stone spending time behind bars.
