Mueller Sought Emails of Trump Campaign Data Firm Cambridge Analytica

Apparently, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has requested that Cambridge Analytica, a data firm that worked for President Donald Trump’s campaign, turn over documents as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. Mueller asked the firm in the fall to turn over the emails of any Cambridge Analytica employees who worked on the Trump campaign, in a sign that the special counsel is probing the Trump campaign’s data operation.

Mueller’s request for employee emails was made before media outlets reported in October that Cambridge Analytica Chief Executive Alexander Nix had contacted WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange during the 2016 campaign, apparently.
