Facebook workers like Clinton mo$t of all

- Marisa Schultz

Facebook employees contribute more to Hillary Clinton than to any other presidenti­al candidate — and among the donors is an executive in charge of trending topics.

Clinton netted at least $114,000 from workers at the social-media giant who itemized their contributi­ons.

Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who bowed out of the race in March, came in a distant second, with $16,604, according to data reviewed by The Hill.

Only donors who listed their employers — required of those giving $200 or more — were counted.

At least 78 Facebook employees, who work on everything from engineerin­g to marketing, have funneled cash to Clinton.

They include, Tom Stocky, a vice president whose team oversees trending topics. He donated $2,700, the maximum allowed, on Oct. 26 to Hillary for America, records show.

Facebook is under fire following a report by Gizmodo that it limits conservati­ve news from its trending feature.

Stocky has denied that Facebook did anything to suppress stories of interest to conservati­ves.

“We take these reports extremely seriously, and have found no evidence that the anonymous allegation­s are true,” Stocky wrote in a Facebook post.
