Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey has announced her office is investigating the Cambridge-based data firm that President Donald Trump's campaign used to obtain information on more than 50 million Facebook users, but a former official who worked during President Barack Obama's successful 2008 and 2012 campaigns says the Democrats effectively employed the same strategy.
Healey on Saturday re-tweeted a New York Times report outlining how Cambridge Analytica, with the help of a wealthy GOP donor and the direction of former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, "harvested private information from the Facebook profiles of more than 50 million users without their permission."
