Texas Reps Ask AG to Investigate Cambridge Analytica

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) should investigate potential data privacy and election law violations committed by Cambridge Analytica, said Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, and a group of five other lawmakers Tuesday. Texas would join Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York, which have opened their own independent probes. “Campaigns in our state must be free of nefarious actors masquerading as political strategists,” the group wrote in a letter to Paxton. “We take privacy and election laws incredibly seriously, and urge you to move as quickly as possible to investigate these issues.”
