Cambridge Analytica Looked to Pounce on Russian Hacks

“Cambridge Analytica hoped to capitalize on Russian hacking of Hillary Clinton and her ally, an email written by one of its employees indicates,” the Daily Beast reports.

“Emily Cornell, the employee, sent the email on July 29, 2016. It went out to people working with Make America Number One, the pro-Trump super PAC funded by Republican super-donors Robert and Rebekah Mercer.”

“On July 22, seven days before Cornell’s email, Wikileaks had published almost 20,000 emails it had stolen from the Democratic National Committee.”
