Facebook Inc. said it will release ads to Congress that appeared to have come from Russia and were aimed at influencing the U.S. election. Facebook had already announced it was handing them over to Special Counsel Robert Mueller but had resisted providing them to Congress. But Facebook still won’t release them to the public. “We believe the public deserves a full accounting of what happened in the 2016 election, and we’ve concluded that sharing the ads we’ve discovered, in a manner that is consistent with our obligations to protect user information, can help,” Facebook General Counsel Colin Stretch said in a statement.
