The results of data science models are contained in the data dump, and those are non-public. The rest of the information is accessible via public records or registries maintained by states.

Trump only has "signaling authority" over the entities with whom the RNC contracts; he can't actually force a contract termination, but he can express distrust in an entity and encourage the RNC to terminate a contract. I don't see that happening, for a myriad of reasons.

The people involved with the decision to start working with Deep Root are mostly not with the RNC anymore. Even if they were, that's simply not how the industry works.

The liability wouldn't be with the RNC or Deep Root; the liability would be on the entity that actually published the information. That's if you consider this to meet the legal definition of publishing (the legal definition of libel, as I understand it, is "to publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film...").

CA offers DMP services as part of their product suite, but they specialize in doing this kind of modeling as a professional service.

Throwaway account because of involvement in this field.

Even though the RNC is a private organization, it doesn't operate like a normal company. The partnerships that it makes with companies that it awards contracts to are largely relationship-driven, not actually driven by objective analysis of value propositions. Those decisions tend to be made at the COO/CoS (Chief of Staff) level.
