Blackwater founder and Trump associate Erik Prince was untruthful in a recent interview about his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Sunday during an appearance on NBC’s "Meet the Press."
“He did not disclose that meeting to our committee,” Schiff told host Chuck Todd.
“And in fact, as you can see from the published transcript of his interview, he was asked what kind of role he played, if any, in the campaign, and he said he had no role, apart from, on his own, submitting written papers, hanging a yard sign, or making a contribution,” Schiff said.
The New York Times first reported the meeting last May.
Prince testified before the committee on Nov. 30, 2017, that he had “no official, or, really unofficial role” in the Trump campaign. Prince in a recent interview with Al Jazeera’s Mehdi Hasan acknowledged that the meeting took place but said the panel could have gotten the transcript wrong.
“Bob Mueller has that testimony already, and Bob Mueller will have to make the decision about whether that rises to the level of deliberate falsehood,” Schiff said.
“There’s nothing wrong with our transcript,” Schiff said Sunday, later adding: “The interview certainly looks inconsistent with his testimony.”
