Nick Clegg leaves Meta global policy team after six years

Former British deputy prime minister Nick Clegg said Thursday he is stepping down from his role as president of Meta's global affairs and will be replaced by Republican stalwart Joel Kaplan. Clegg ceding his job to Kaplan, who served as deputy chief of staff for policy under then-president George W. Bush from 2006-2009, comes as Republican Donald Trump is set to return to the White House.
