A key part of the Trump Russia story—that the US media has barely covered—is investigating & reporting on people/entities behind the Brexit referendum and the Trump campaign - a point @carolecadwalla highlights in this article on Elizabeth Denham theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/j…
@carolecadwalla “There is an overlap between what the special counsel is doing in the US and what Denham is doing in the UK, and what became clear last week is that there is a zone of convergence between the two.”

I’m a bit surprised this story on Vote Leave CEO Matthew Elliott working at the company A2P in 2017 with US business partners with strong ties to the Koch brothers, DeVos and the WH hasn’t been picked up by the MSM at all medium.com/@wsiegelman/ma…
John Bolton hired Cambridge Analytica in 2015 at the same time CA was harvesting data from Facebook and his PAC paid them $1.2 million medium.com/@wsiegelman/fr…
And as @MsMariaT noted on the eve of the Brexit vote John Bolton was at the Vote Leave headquarters
The Brexit referendum vote was June 23, 2016, and Trump left the campaign trail to fly to Scotland during the same time period
And yes Nigel Farage’s UK and US connections are an important key to this story
Which brings me to another story the media has not covered - which I co-wrote in May 2017 with @J_amesp on how Nigel Farage reportedly met Trump through Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant, who had worked for former Gov Haley Barbour, Alfa Bank lobbyist medium.com/@wsiegelman/al…
