Cambridge Analytica just won't die -- working w/Trump 2020 campaign

Report: Trump Reelection Campaign Working With Former Cambridge Analytica Staffers

https://www.thedailybeast.com/report-trump-reelection-campaign-working-with-former-cambridge-analytica-staffers

President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign has been working with a company run by former Cambridge Analytica staff members, according to an Associated Press report. Cambridge Analytica shut down last month after it was accused of harvesting the personal data of up to 87 million Facebook users. At least four former Cambridge Analytica employees, including the company’s former head of product and chief data scientist, are now associated with Data Propria, a consulting firm similar to Cambridge Analytica. Data Propria leader and former Cambridge Analytica head of product Matt Oczkowski insisted his new company is not involved with Trump’s 2020 campaign, but is doing work on the 2018 elections for the Republican National Committee.

Attached claims were submitted by the RNC Data Trust to FEC officials.
If Data Trust had such an arrangement with Cambridge Analytica (as DT claims was a "requirement" of "each client&quot , it would indicate that the RNC now has every drop of data generated by Cambridge Analytica.
