4. Cambridge Analytica's Alleged Russian Ties
On multiple occasions, members of Cambridge Analytica have met with executives of a Russian oil company, allegedly in order to figure out ways in which to sway American voters.
A recent New York Times story noted that Analytica met with representatives from Lukoil in 2014 and 2015. Both parties have denied that politics was part of their communication.
"Alexander Nix, director of SCL Group [parent company of Analytica], denied at a British Parliament meeting last month that his consulting firm ever worked with Russia," reported The Hill.
