Ex-Mercenary CEO Erik Prince Admits To Trump Tower Meet With Donald Jr. And Saudi Emissary

Erik Prince, former head of mercenary business Blackwater, revealed in a bombshell interview Friday that he attended a meeting in Trump Tower with Donald Trump Jr. and a representative of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to discuss “Iran policy” during the presidential campaign.

The interview marked the first time Prince has publicly acknowledged such a meeting. Prince said in congressional testimony in 2017 that he had no “official” or “unofficial” role in the campaign — other than a “yard sign” and writing “papers” — according to the transcript of his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. Nor did he mention the meeting in his testimony, according to transcripts.

Prince, brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, acknowledged the meeting in an on-camera interview on Al Jazeera’s “Head to Head” aired Friday (above).

Asked by host Mehdi Hasan why he didn’t reveal the meeting in his congressional testimony, Prince insisted he had. When his actual response was read back to him, he suggested the transcript was “wrong,” drawing titters from the interview audience.

He later also insisted that “not all of the discussion that day was transcribed.”

1. They will lie in the face of concrete evidence. Show them no mercy. No weak jail terms.

[Firestorm49]

2. So, if he had no official or unofficial role in the meeting......

What the heck was he doing there? The guy runs mercenaries for profit, or better known as “private armies”, the statistics of which are generally or specifically not made public - like how many died, and what’s the cause that they are fighting for, because I doubt if it has anything to do with democracy, and more to do with private or corporate wealth.

Why was he there? Relying on Prince to give a straight answer might require water boarding, because as with all of these types, truth has no meaning. You might as well just ask rRump.

3. Going to point out

This interview is not with an American media company journalist.

This one with Sean Spicers' interview with a BBC journalist in July 2018, https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-44933363/sean-spicer-on-donald-trump-and-the-white-house. Video there.

1-American journalists, esp TV-cable ones in this era are mushballs serving up pablum questions
2-American politically connected people have learned that American Media journalists are mushballs & expect all media are serving up pablum questions
3-AlJazeera & BBC media personalities are much more then those pablum pushers.

4. I know it was not an American journalist. That was my whole point..

[irisblue]

10. Oh yeah I was clear on that it was not an American based journalist.

Even though AlJazeera does have some US based journalists, the guy you referred, acted as the way US media once was, holding the powerful acvountable. A true pity, they have become so flaccid in covering this counrty.

12. so sadly true....

6. Saw a clip

7. Mehdi Hasan is awesome! He's also an adjunct professor at Georgetown .

8. Isn't it a shame that most American 'journalists. are so bad,

that doing the job correctly has to seem awesome.

[diva77]

9. isn't Prince still in the mercenary biz?

what current name is Blackwater parading under? should Prince really be referred to as an ex-ceo of a mercenary business?

[EleanorR]

11. Yep, first rebranded as Xe and now called Academi
