Trump Spending With Cambridge Analytica Looks Like Peanuts Compared to Cruz
Posted in: UncategorizedIt’s official: the Donald Trump campaign is working with former Cruz camp data firm Cambridge Analytica. However, the campaign has spent a relatively meager amount with the British analytics firm compared to the money Cambridge Analytica garnered from the Ted Cruz campaign.
The campaign and its new data partner have kept mum about their relationship, though rumors have swirled for weeks about Cambridge Analytica staff being embedded with the Trump camp’s San Antonio-based digital firm Giles Parscale.
The campaign’s recently released Federal Election Commission report for August shows it spent just $100,000 with Cambridge last month, while Giles Parscale itself received around $8.4 million from the campaign in July. This is the first time Cambridge Analytica, which has become known for its somewhat controversial and unorthodox approach to the U.S. political business, has shown up in a Trump campaign FEC report.
