(CNN) Cambridge Analytica, the embattled data analytics company best known for its work on President Donald Trump's campaign, has suspended its CEO, Alexander Nix, in the wake of undercover reports showing him discussing potential bribery and entrapment. The report on Tuesday featured undercover footage of Nix claiming he met Trump "many times" and that the company was responsible for a wide swath of the Trump campaign's activity. Nix is also recorded telling an undercover reporter posing as a client that he believes the US has "no jurisdiction" over their activities. An undercover reporter then asked, "... you're using the girls for this, like the seduction, they're not local girls? Cambridge Analytica's statement on Tuesday said an independent investigation would take place with the company revealing its findings "in due course."
