[Congressional Democrats examine Erik Prince’s statements on 2017 Seychelles meeting for possible perjury] Erik Prince, the founder and chief executive of Blackwater Worldwide, in 2008. “We know from the Mueller report that that was not a chance meeting,” Schiff told Post reporter Robert Costa during an interview at the event. “We know there were communications after he returned.”
Schiff noted Tuesday that if Prince gave the special counsel’s team information “under the condition it not be used against him, then being able to prove” that he lied to lawmakers “might be problematic.” Details in Mueller’s report have solidified many Democrats’ concerns that Trump Jr. lied to them about the details surrounding the June 2016 meeting that he and others from the Trump campaign held with a Russian lawyer promising “dirt” on Clinton and seeking to discuss sanctions against Russia with the campaign.
