The House Intelligence Committee chairman said there is 'strong evidence' Prince lied to lawmakers about meeting with a Russian official days before Trump was sworn in.
The House Intelligence Committee plans to make a criminal referral for Erik Prince to the Department of Justice, citing “strong evidence” that he lied to lawmakers about meeting with a Russian official days before Donald Trump was sworn into office.
“Later today we will be making a criminal referral to the Justice Department,” Schiff said, adding that the “evidence is so weighty” that the department needs to re-examine the issue. Prince told lawmakers during his testimony that the meeting happened by chance and was casual in nature, adding that it was not in any way set up by the Trump administration.
“We know from the Mueller report that that was not a chance meeting,” Schiff told the Post’s Robert Costa during the live event on Tuesday. “We know there were communications after he returned.”
