<p>The Committee ought to interview all relevant persons involved or associated with the Trump campaign’s digital operation to determine whether the campaign coordinated in any way with Russia in its digital program. The Committee will not be able to fully evaluate the campaign’s digital operation without speaking to a broader cross-section of individuals who can provide greater insight into the digital operation’s day-to-day activities or its relationship with <a class="thought-link" href="brain://Yj7JqdeCNk6zr6mpKeokPQ/CambridgeAnalytica">Cambridge Analytica</a>. The Committee also must interview individuals from other companies who conducted technology-related work on behalf of the Trump campaign or on behalf of other entities being funded through independent expenditures to gain a full picture of whether there was any coordination between Russia’s extensive social media efforts on Trump’s behalf and the campaign itself.</p>
<p>For example, Avraham (Avi) (<a class="thought-link" href="brain://swvItxxZpEqbPHhu11CQaA/AviBerkowitz">Avi) Berkowitz</a>, served as Assistant Director of Data Analytics on the Trump Campaign. He was also an associate of <a class="thought-link" href="brain://MsQ34_-Im0Cqo8cqngvu3g/JaredKushner">Jared Kushner</a> and <a class="thought-link" href="brain://8rST0-Fk70KLhD3D_pAAFg/BradParscale">Brad Parscale</a>. The Committee has reason to believe that Mr. Kushner may have dispatched Mr. Berkowitz to meet with Russian Ambassador <a class="thought-link" href="brain://yF22pYGyU0Wtr3PsBj1T4Q/SergeyKislyak">Sergey Kislyak</a> in <a class="thought-link" href="brain://oLLC0jEatEaVhR9oOQ120w/201612">December 2016</a>. <a class="thought-link" href="brain://nHUExtlqR0SyCaN7O_qvaw/TheresaHong">Theresa Hong</a>, who served as Digital Content Director for the Trump campaign, should also be asked to testify. Ms. Hong has spoken to the press about the campaign’s digital operation and her team’s work alongside <a class="thought-link" href="brain://Yj7JqdeCNk6zr6mpKeokPQ/CambridgeAnalytica">Cambridge Analytica</a>.</p>
