Bannon, Mercer and Nix were warned during campaign that Cambridge Analyticas practices
may violate US law: (whistleblower)Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie on Thursday alleged that during the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump’s former chief campaign strategist Steve Bannon, billionaire Republican donor Rebekah Mercer and Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix were warned that the company’s actions may violate American law.
MSNBC host Ari Melber asked Wylie if he had knowledge of warnings sent to Cambridge Analytica or its officers during his time at the company.
“Yep, absolutely,” Wylie told Melber. “Rudy Giuliani’s law firm actually sent us a memo to Steve Bannon, Rebekah Mercer and Alexander Nix that actually outlined the fact that, in the United States, you can’t run campaigns with foreign citizens who are not permanent residents.”
