Bannon, Mercer, And Nix Were Warned By Giuliani's Firm About Foreign Influence Via Cambridge....
....Analytica In 2014
MELBER: That's not nothing. And to verify those allegations, we wanted to see the memo, so we asked for it. And I can tell you on TV for the first time, we got it.
This is not some low-level paperwork, this is from the law firm of one of Donald Trump's earliest allies, Rudy Giuliani, addressing one of Trump's biggest donors and his future campaign manager and the now suspended CEO of this controversial firm and let me show you what we got.
He warned them, this firm, not to do something that the whistleblower told us they went on to do. Anna Scheckter obtained this memo and she pointed out that the lawyers directly advising Mercer, Bannon and Nix, right there in 2014, telling them that Nix should avoid the possibility of breaking US law and thus recuse himself of management of these American campaigns and clients involving these elections. Also warning him that the analysis of Cambridge's trove of data should be conducted by, wait for it, US Citizens.
This was all before the 2016 Trump campaign, to be clear. And a source telling NBC right now that Cambridge embedded foreigners in other congressional races. The whistleblower, Christopher Wiley tells us this was actually common with up to 20 foreigners working on these GOP congressional races.
