After working for Trumps campaign, British data firm eyes new U.S. government contracts
By Matea Gold and Frances Stead Sellers February 17
During last years race, President Trumps campaign paid millions of dollars to a data science firm, Cambridge Analytica, that touted its ability to target voters through psychological profiling.

Id like to think that regardless of the outcome of the election, wed be working in this space, Nix added and said he has not communicated with Bannon about the companys work. Weve survived different administrations from left and right of the aisle, with different policy agendas.
Cambridge Analytica collected at least $6 million from the Trump campaign for its data-analytics work, federal filings show. Bannon was a key driver of the companys push into the U.S. political market in 2014, according to multiple people familiar with his role.
Company officials declined to comment on Bannons relationship with Cambridge.
Nix said that any involvement Bannon may have had with the company is being discussed with federal ethics officials. Bannon, like other top White House staff, is required to file a personal financial disclosure form that will become public later this year.

FBI probing whether Trump aides helped Russian intel in early 2016 w/ video
FBI probing whether Trump aides helped Russian intel in early 2016
CBS News has learned that U.S. investigators are looking into whether Trump campaign representatives had a role in helping Russian intelligence as it carried out cyberattacks on the Democratic National Committee and other political targets in March 2016.
This new information suggests that the FBI is going back further than originally reported to determine the extent of possible coordination. Sources say investigators are probing whether an individual or individuals connected to the campaign intentionally or unwittingly helped the Russians breach Democratic Party targets.
In March 2016, both Mr. Trump and Hillary Clinton had emerged as their parties most likely nominees.
According to a declassified intelligence assessment, it was in March when Russian hackers began cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election. In May, U.S. officials say the Russians had stolen large volumes of data from the DNC.

Now, one year after the Russian operation began, sources say the FBIs investigation is nowhere near over. It involves dozens of agents in Washington, New York and London. The NSA and CIA are also gathering intelligence from inside Russia.
