Facebook has flagged a post by a North Carolina congressman referencing special counsel Robert Durham’s allegations that the Clinton campaign spied on the Trump campaign.

The tech giant said Republican Rep. Richard Hudson’s post from Sunday which linked to Fox News coverage of Mr. Durham’s complaint filed over the weekend had been “checked by independent fact-checkers” and was deemed to be “false information.”

“Facebook is censoring me and the latest to try and cover up reports about the Clinton campaign spying on President Trump,” Mr. Hudson tweeted.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WNCN) – The weight of the pandemic is on the shoulders of Dr. Jennifer Green.

The Cumberland County health director announced Wednesday she will rescind her mask order. Beginning Sunday, people will no longer be required to wear a mask indoors across Cumberland County.

“The ability for us to be able to effectively enforce the order remains a challenge,” Green said.

This decision came as students returned to class Wednesday and were no longer required to wear a mask.

The Cumberland County health director said Tuesday that she plans to rescind an order that requires masks in public indoor spaces.

Health Director Jennifer Green told the Board of Health that she expects to end the county’s public health abatement order Sunday.

Rescinding the order will effectively end a showdown between the county and the Board of Education, which voted 5-4 last week to make masks optional in school buildings. That policy went into effect Wednesday.

Green said that enforcing the abatement order was a challenge.
