Arron Banks Boasted of WikiLeaks Backchannel after Farage’s secret meeting with Assange.

Cambridge Analytica involved in the Brexit referendum, lobbying efforts in the U.S. on behalf of a foreign power, & breach of data-protection law by pro-Brexit/Trump campaigners.
🇺🇸Iowa2🇺🇸

Banks also ‘joked’ about being a “full agent” of the RU state a couple of weeks after Trump was elected president.

Farage may have been used as a conduit between the WH and WikiLeaks, which the CIA has described as a “hostile intelligence service” aided by Russia.
🇺🇸Iowa3🇺🇸

Two weeks after meeting Trump in D.C. in Feb 2017, Farage was spotted leaving Ecuador’s embassy

Farage delivered material to Assange via a thumb drive containing the hacked material.

WikiLeaks shortly thereafter published damaging messages hacked from HRC’s
🇺🇸Iowa4🇺🇸

Email account during the 2016 election.

Banks claimed his colleague emerged from the meeting in March 2017 confident that a new WikiLeaks data dump was on the horizon.

“There was a somewhat unacknowledged relationship between the Trump people & the UKIP people
🇺🇸Iowa5🇺🇸

And that the path to WikiLeaks ran through that relationship.”

“Nigel & DJT love each other,” he wrote in one message soon after the Nov 2016 elex.

“The media don’t really get how deep the links go.”

“We are in daily contact w/ the Trump campaign—Brexit playbook!”
🇺🇸Iowa6🇺🇸

The leak includes messages in which Banks says Leave. EU used the disgraced Cambridge Analytica during the Brexit campaign, a claim campaign officials deny & did not declare in official elex filings.

Bannon personally demanded payment during a visit
🇺🇸Iowa7🇺🇸

To Trump Tower in Nov 2016.

Banks has played up his links to RU, & in a leaked Twitter message he even claimed to be a “full agent.”

“it’s interesting that the SM campaign used the same AI tech Trump did via CA.

This result that Trump won came as no surprise to us.”
🇺🇸Iowa7🇺🇸

UKIP decided to keep the money rather than pay the CA bill.

Bannon was demanding that money from Banks, Farage, & Wigmore at TT in the days after the presidential victory—that was the trip where the Brexit campaigners posed with Trump in front of a golden elevator.
🇺🇸Iowa7🇺🇸

Banks also claimed he used close ties to Team Trump to lobby on behalf of the Belizean banking sector.

Banks discussed a plan to work with then-Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant to restore support for transactions in U.S. dollars to Belize Bank.
🇺🇸Iowa7🇺🇸

The Bank lost its partnerships with B of A & Commerzbank after an Obama-era crackdown on offshore tax evasion raised the costs of offering correspondent banking facilities to Belize’s biggest bank.

The bank is owned by Conservative Party donor Lord Ashcroft
