Dina Powell McCormick joined Meta as president and vice chairman.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
Judge as of 2026-01-28. True: a dated official Meta announcement, press release or SEC filing (such as an 8-K) shows that Dina Powell McCormick joined Meta with the titles of both president and vice chairman, effective on or before 2026-01-28. Mostly true: she joined Meta in a senior role effective on or before that date, but the titles differ slightly in wording (for example, 'vice chair'), or the start date is imminent but already formally announced. Mixed: she joined with only one of the two titles. Mostly false: she joined Meta in some other role, or was only appointed to the board as a director. False: Meta's records show she did not join Meta in any such capacity by that date.

E3 Meta hires ex-Trump adviser Dina Powell McCormick as president, vice-chairman Business Times (Singapore), citing Bloomberg · 12 January 2026
“Dina Powell McCormick, who resigned from the US company’s board in December, is joining Meta this week as president and vice-chairman.”
Reasoning
Meta's Form 8-K [E1] says the Board appointed Dina Powell McCormick as President and Vice Chairman, effective January 12, 2026, which is before the 2026-01-28 judging date. Meta's newsroom announcement [E2] gives the same titles, and Business Times, citing Bloomberg [E3], independently reports she was joining Meta that week as president and vice-chairman. Both titles and the effective date meet the criteria for true.
