Several federal agencies have joined the Department of Justice inquiry into the data scandal involving Facebook and consultancy Cambridge Analytica, The Washington Post reported on Monday. 

The Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Trade Commission and Federal Bureau of Investigation have joined in the probe, according to The Post. The DOJ probe follows Facebook's disclosures in March that Cambridge Analytica, a digital consultancy that had ties to the Trump presidential campaign, improperly accessed personal information on up to 87 million of the social network's users.
