For months, the FBI have been investigating Russian interference in the American presidential elections. ZEMBLA is investigating another explosive dossier concerning Trump’s involvement with the Russians: Trump’s business and personal ties to oligarchs from the former Soviet Union. Powerful billionaires suspected of money laundering and fraud, and of having contacts in Moscow and with the mafia. What do these relationships say about Trump and why does he deny them? How compromising are these dubious business relationships for the 45th president of the United States? And are there connections with the Netherlands? ZEMBLA meets with one of Trump’s controversial cronies and speaks with a former CIA agent, fraud investigators, attorneys, and an American senator among others.
The Cambridge Analytica scandal broke in March 2018. Several media outlets, including The Guardian, which had attempted to alert the public even before the US presidential election, revealed how the personal data of 87 million Facebook users had been collected and exploited by this company to promote Donald Trump. Conducted over several months by director Thomas Huchon, this investigation reveals a new aspect of the affair, detailing both how the data was used and the little-known role of the man who financed and orchestrated this massive manipulation: the ultra-conservative billionaire Robert Mercer, who heads the highly successful investment fund Renaissance Technologies. The man who bought the far-right website Breitbart News in 2012 also controls Cambridge Analytica, and decided to use both to impose his political agenda on the entire nation.
