NEW: Paul Manafort associate who worked with Cambridge Analytica charged. Sam Patten worked with CA & AIQ on deeply dodgy Nigerian campaign. There’s a whole new can of worms here...theguardian.com/us-news/2018/a…
Patten’s business partner Konstantin Kilimnik cited by Mueller as ‘Person A’ with links to Russian intelligence. Patten employed by CA on campaign which used ex-Mossad agents to steal now-president of Nigeria’s emails. Employees claim weird similarities to later US election
And it’s notable to UK because this same campaign featured both data firms that worked on Brexit: Cambridge Analytica & AIQ. And yet we have no idea if any of this is being investigated or not. We know info has been handed to NCA. We don’t know if they’re pursuing it.
Earlier this week, @BenPBradshaw learned that NCA is NOT investigating Russian interference. A profoundly depressing piece of news. Cross party support from @tom_watson & @DamianCollins that a British Mueller-style inquiry is now desperately needed. But how do we get one?
