Summary: A data firm led by Trump in 2016 has come under scrutiny recently, due to a surfaced report by a British news channel. This news source sent their reporters undercover into the firm, and met with the CEO of the firm. The CEO, Alexander Nix, was recorded with one of the employees discussing “strategies,” used to influence elections in foreign countries. Here is a transcript:
“In one exchange, when asked about digging up material on political opponents, Mr. Nix said they could ‘send some girls around to the candidate’s house,” adding that Ukrainian girls “are very beautiful, I find that works very well’.”
“In another he said: ‘We’ll offer a large amount of money to the candidate, to finance his campaign in exchange for land for instance, we’ll have the whole thing recorded, we’ll blank out the face of our guy and we post it on the Internet.’
Position: While this doesn’t appear to (yet) deal with the US election, if these practices effected the 2016 election, Trump could potentially be impeached.
