| Here are the top moments from the fourth Democratic debate | | |  | THU, OCT 17, 2019 | | | | | | WHERE BUSINESS AND POLITICS CONVERGE | | | | Hi readers,
It's been another busy week in Washington. If you were watching the Nats' big win (we don't blame you) and missed the debate this week, our politics teams has compiled the night's top moments. In one fiery exchange with Beto O'Rourke, Sen. Elizabeth Warren defended her wealth tax plan and said she doesn't have "beef with billionaires." If you need a refresher on Warren's proposal, check out Robert Frank's piece.
Once again, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg paid a visit to Washington – this time to deliver a speech on free expression at Georgetown University as the company has recently come under fire for how it handles political ads containing misinformation. "While I certainly worry about the erosion of truth, I don't think most people want to live in a world where you can only post things that tech companies judge to be 100% true," Zuckerberg said. The Facebook CEO will return to DC next week for a hearing on Facebook's libra cryptocurrency.
It's official. The 2020 G-7 summit will take place at Trump's Doral resort, which has seen its revenue plunge in the past several years. Trump's acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Trump will not profit from the event, adding that the resort will host the event "at cost" to attendees. Critics argue it could be a violation of the emoluments clause. Our politics team has all the details on this ethics fight.
See you next week!
