Erik Prince, the former head of Blackwater and brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, has acknowledged for the first time that he was present at the 2016 Trump Tower meeting at the center of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian.

In an interview on Al Jazeera's "Head to Head" that aired Friday, Prince said he was present at an August 3, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower to "talk about Iran policy."

The New York Times reported last year that Prince organized a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that included Donald Trump Jr. and Lebanese-American businessman George Nader. During that meeting, Nader reportedly said the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia wanted to aid Trump in his bid for the White House.

Prince previously testified under oath to the House Intelligence Committee on November 30, 2017, saying at the time that he had "no official" or "really unofficial role" in the Trump campaign and his only involvement in helping was attending fundraisers and placing yard signs.

4. I agree

[beachbum bob]

5. what happens when trumps people don't have the house GOP to obstruct investigations

.....there will be many more "clarifying" the record.

6. So much badness

When will it be enough to tip the scale and remove these threats to our country?

There are no “shocking” revelations in learning what we knew all along ... just proof that these things have happened.

I am tired of people just shrugging it off as more of the same.

I guess that until all of us are in the streets demanding impeachment, nothing will happen.

7. Placing yard signs...in the Seychelles, perhaps.

8. Gee, and I thought it was just about Russian adoption.

Maybe by “Russian adoptions” they meant how to adopt Russian principles into America. Ah!

[jcgoldie]

9. Erik just wanted to adopt a Russian baby...

Nothing to see here.

10. F*cked up story. This is not the "Trump Tower Meeting" at the center of Mueller's investigation

That meeting took place in June 2016. The Prince meeting took place in August.

Journalistic malpractice.
