Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse

(CNN) Roger Stone appeared on the InfoWars radio show the same day he sent an email claiming he dined with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange -- and he predicted "devastating" upcoming disclosures about the Clinton Foundation.

Stone's comments in his August 4, 2016, appearance are the earliest known time he claimed to know of forthcoming WikiLeaks documents. A CNN KFile timeline shows that on August 10, 2016, Stone claimed to have "actually communicated with Julian Assange."

The comments also raise more questions about what Stone knew about WikiLeaks and about the veracity of his claims to have been in contact with Assange, which he now denies.

Facebook said Wednesday that most of its 2 billion users likely have had their public profiles scraped by outsiders without the users' explicit permission, dramatically raising the stakes in a https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/03/17/a-voter-profiling-firm-hired-by-trump-likely-grabbed-data-for-tens-of-millions-of-facebook-users/?utm_term=.2d1b4fe29aba (privacy controversy) that has dogged the company for weeks, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/03/22/a-key-congressional-committee-has-asked-facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-to-testify-on-cambridge-analytica/?utm_term=.9e58f87c361a (spurred investigations) in the United States and Europe, and sent the company's https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/fresh-shockwaves-hit-us-markets-after-trump-tweets-china-steps-up-trade-war/2018/04/02/1f3beebe-3678-11e8-9c0a-85d477d9a226_story.html?utm_term=.df7376b14f80 (stock price tumbling).

As part of the disclosure, Facebook for the first time detailed the https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/03/17/a-voter-profiling-firm-hired-by-trump-likely-grabbed-data-for-tens-of-millions-of-facebook-users/?utm_term=.2d1b4fe29aba (scale of the improper data collection) for Cambridge Analytica, a political data consultancy hired by President Trump and other Republican candidates in the last two federal election cycles. The political consultancy gained access to Facebook information on up to 87 million users, 71 million of whom are Americans, Facebook said. Cambridge Analytica obtained the data to build “psychographic” profiles that would help deliver targeted messages intended to shape voter behavior in a wide range of U.S. elections.
