Trump campaign data gathering was "under the guidance of Jared Kushner" [View all]

Anything data related in all of this...all roads lead to Kushner. He knows it. Trump's lawyers
have to know it. He was the link that brought in Project Alamo. Cambridge Analytica teamed with Project Alamo.
Project Alamo involvement reportedly got ramped up in June 2016. Pascale posted a picture of himself with Trump at Trump Tower on June 8 2016 on his Twitter account. Huh...one day before the Trump, Jr/Russia meeting. Busy month...data wise.

Following Trump’s official nomination as the Republican Party presidential candidate in July 2016, Parscale was tasked with building and scaling the campaign’s digital targeting capabilities. One main supplier of Trump’s data was the Republican National Committee. (RNC Chairman Reince Preibus famously invested more than $100 million dollars into the party’s data and infrastructure capabilities since Mitt Romney’s 2012 loss.)

(Snip)


Under the guidance of Jared Kushner, a senior campaign advisor and son-in-law of President-Elect Trump, Parscale quietly began building his own list of Trump supporters. Trump’s revolutionary database, named Project Alamo, contains the identities of 220 million people in the United States, and approximately 4,000 to 5,000 individual data points about the online and offline life of each person. Funded entirely by the Trump campaign, this database is owned by Trump and continues to exist.
