MS. SPEIER: But if I understand correctly,
there is no office for Cambridge Analytica in the
United States, and no employees.
MR. WYLIE: They might - they have an
address.
MS. SPEIER: Okay, but there is - the
functionality of Cambridge Analytica took place in London.
MR. WYLIE: Yeah, yeah. The - so the overwhelming majority - there were some U.S.-based staff who were American. But they were in a very - that was a very small minority of the people. And their job was mostly sort of, like, organizing travel and arrangements when people were coming to the United States. So they weren't necessarily in senior positions, with the exception of Steve Bannon, who is American and was also working in a senior capacity. But the overwhelming majority of staff members were based in London or - all of them were paid by SCL. And they were at the SCL office, which also converted into the Cambridge Analytica office whenever you wanted to change the letterhead. Like there were two sets of letterhead.
MS. SPEIER: Got it.
MR. WYLIE: Two sets of email, two sets of
letterhead, two sets of everything. There were - as I recall, there were - you had different numbers, so one card would say this and the answering machine would be Cambridge Analytica -
MS. SPEIER: The vast majority of persons that
worked at SCL were foreign nationals.
MR. WYLIE: At least 90 percent.
MS. SPEIER: At least 90 percent.
MR. WYLIE: At least 90 percent.
MS. SPEIER: Were any of them embedded in the Trump campaign, that you know of? Because this was after you left, correct?
MR. WYLIE: Yeah. My understanding was that
there were data scientists - and I've seen photographs of this - who were at the Alamo site, the site in Texas, who were not American citizens, but were working for Cambridge Analytica. And if - I can try to get you some of those photos, if -
MS. SPEIER: Okay, that would be great.
