Special Counsel Robert Muellers team has spoken with Blackwater founder Erik Prince, two sources familiar with the matter tell The Daily Beast. It was not immediately clear what questions Muellers team had or what information Prince shared with the special counsel.
Prince attended a now-controversial meeting with the head of Russias sovereign wealth fund in the Seychelles Islands on Jan. 11, 2017just over a week before Inauguration Day. The Washington Post reported that Mueller is interested in potential efforts at the Seychelles meeting to set up a backchannel between the Trump administration and the Kremlin.
A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment. Reached for comment, Prince spokesperson Marc Cohen did not dispute this reporting.
Erik gave a full and frank public account of events as they concern him to the intelligence committee and he has nothing else to add on this topic, Cohen said.
