Bannon: Trump Campaign and Robert Mueller

bannon: The emails are likely to be scrutinised in the US where Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, has interviewed Bannon a number of times, according to The Guardian. An email, dated 24 October 2015, written by Banks and copied to Bannon among others, states that Leave.EU would like CA Cambridge Analytica to come up with a strategy for fundraising in the States and engaging companies and special interest groups that might be affected by TTIP Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership . Banks is under criminal investigation over the sources of his 8m donation to the Leave.EU campaign after the Electoral Commission suspected he was not the true source of loans and the money had come from impermissible sources claims denied by Banks. Banks, as founder of Leave.EU, wanted Bannon's data firm Cambridge Analytica to devise a plan in late 2015 for raising funds in the US that would support the unofficial Brexit campaign, according to the correspondence. Political donations from foreigners are illegal under British law. Banks states in the email that US citizens with British relatives could be targeted for donations, writing that a potential strategy should look at how we could connect to people with family ties to the UK and raise money and create SM social media activity. The email that suggests Banks attempted to solicit overseas donations for his unofficial Brexit campaign is likely to be published as evidence by parliament's inquiry into fake news on Monday.
