The Associated Press @APThe AP has learned that Donald Trump's 2020 campaign is secretly working with former employees of disgraced political consultancy company Cambridge Analytica.
____The AP confirmed that at least four former Cambridge Analytica employees are affiliated with Data Propria, a new company specializing in voter and consumer targeting work similar to Cambridge Analyticas efforts before its collapse. The companys former head of product, Matt Oczkowski, leads the new firm, which also includes Cambridge Analyticas former chief data scientist.
Oczkowski denied a link to the Trump campaign, but acknowledged that his new firm has agreed to do 2018 campaign work for the Republican National Committee. Oczkowski led the Cambridge Analytica data team which worked on Trumps successful 2016 campaign.
The AP learned of Data Proprias role in Trumps re-election effort as a result of conversations held with political contacts and prospective clients in recent weeks by Oczkowski. In one such conversation, which took place in a public place and was overheard by two AP reporters, Oczkowski said he and Trumps 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, were doing the presidents work for 2020.
In addition, a person familiar with Data Proprias Washington efforts, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect business relationships, confirmed to the AP that Trump-related 2020 work already had begun at the firm along the lines of Cambridge Analyticas 2016 work.
