(CNN)House Russia investigators are planning to call on Brad Parscale, the digital director of President Donald Trump's campaign, as the congressional and federal probes dig into any possible connections between the Trump digital operation and Russian operatives, congressional sources said this week.
The House Russia investigation is planning to send an invite to Parscale soon, as they begin scheduling witnesses over the summer, sources said. The Senate intelligence committee is also interested in how Russian bots were able to target political messages in specific districts in critical swing states, although it is not clear if Parscale will be called before the Senate panel as well.
The news from the House comes as federal investigators have dug into Jared Kushner's role overseeing Trump's data operation -- although he has not been identified as a target of the probe. Kushner is expected to talk soon with Senate investigators about the campaign's data operation.
Parscale played a critical role behind the scenes on the Trump campaign, directing online spending and voter targeting with the use of a highly sophisticated data bank built by the Republican National Committee. Parscale, was running the Trump Organization's digital operation in early 2015, when he was hired onto the Trump campaign -- months before Trump officially announced his bid.

(9,974 posts)Drumf didn't think to have these minions sign one. NOT because an NDA would have lasted a second with Mueller and his team....but it maybe would have deterred them all from going public in interviews post election. Pascale and some woman who worked there were ALL over social media laying it all out there. Him in online interviews and her in a blog site. Putting nice little bread crumbs for the soon to be investigators to follow up on.
In Jared's Forbes interview he knew enough to not mention CA. He referred to his little group of "volunteers" who got together in San Antonio...but he left out how CA sent data workers down there. Parscale, on the other hand...
Thank goodness drumf is as dumb as he is when it's come to all of this.
