CrowdStrike CEO says his company is 'nonpartisan' after Trump brought it up to Ukrainian president

"It was unintelligible, to be honest," Kurtz said of Trump's comments. "But it was a bit of a shock this morning."

CrowdStrike's name was likely invoked by Trump because the company assisted the Democratic National Committee in investigating a 2016 hack by Russian operatives. Trump hasthat the DNC should have turned over the email servers to the FBI instead of having CrowdStrike investigate, implying that the lack of cooperation should cast doubt on findings that the Russians helped him win the election.

CrowdStrike responded on Wednesday by saying in a statement that it "provided all forensic evidence and analysis to the FBI," and that "we stand by our findings and conclusions that have been fully supported by the US intelligence community." Kurtz told CNBC that government work makes up a significant amount of the company's revenue, though he said it doesn't break out the numbers. He said CrowdStrike works with governments on the local, state and federal level, both in the U.S. and abroad. And he emphasized that the company is "nonpartisan."
