Since New Year’s Day, @hindsightfiles has been tweeting a steady stream of links to leaked Cambridge Analytica documents revealing the company’s work on election manipulation for candidates around the world, including Malaysia, Kenya and Brazil – 100,000+ documents relating to 68 countries, which @hindsightfiles has pledged to release in the coming months.
The documents – emails and working files – came from Brittany Kaiser, a whistleblower who once worked at Cambridge Analytica and made notable appearances in the documentary The Great Hack. Kaiser says her documents reveal major Trump donors discussing plans to launder and anonymize illegal political spending, and also how Cambridge Analytica systemtized these techniques for dark money spending elsewhere, including in the UK during the Brexit campaign.
