Cambridge Analytica, the British consultancy firm founded by Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer, and whose CEO, David Nix (pictured above), was secretly recorded boasting about using bribes and covert prostitution strings to blackmail candidates, tweeted that it has "instructed our lawyers to send letters to news media who have been covering this story, advising them not to repeat false and unfounded allegations as fact."
