Michael Bloomberg’s campaign, through a New Jersey-based third-party vendor, contracted Oklahoma prisoners to make calls on the presidential candidate's behalf, The Intercept reported on Tuesday.

ProCom was a subcontractor for one of the Bloomberg campaign’s vendors. The campaign has since ended its relationship with both companies, it said in a statement.
