apparently mueller is now homing in on erik prince, founder of the mercenary company blackwater and antrump's transition team. specifically, mueller is now looking at a secret meeting prince held with a kremlin emissary on a remote island shortly after the election. >> robert mueller has, quote, "gathered evidence that a secret meeting in the seychelles just before the inauguration of donald trump was an effort to establish a back channel between the incoming administration and the kremlin." erik prince, the founder of the private military company blackwater, met with a russian official close to president vladimir putin. a witness cooperating with mueller has told investigators the meeting was set up in advance, so that a representative of the trump transition could meet with an emissary from moscow to discuss future relations between the two countries. >> seth: wait. you're telling me a secret meeting on a remote island in the indian ocean between a mercenary and an agent of the kremlin turned out to be suspicious?

in the early days of iraq it was a gold rush you had companies coming out of nowhere including blackwater who was really like a tomboy a wild wild west where nobody had any control anybody doing anything with firearms in this country to say their private military company. was an a.t.m. for these companies the basic idea of a contractor versus recruiting. training in supporting military vets is that there is room hiring a prostitute or getting married. so instead of a soldier who has an x. cost of a year now being a contractor who's being paid a times ten. well what has happened is that america has basically married a prostitute and has been active in them for a very long period of time almost to be a. good example of. it's not invade a country and it would be a. good. thing but none of the russians just go to run the ship and i think unfortunately. this is how we will go wrong movies or it's very. contractors offer some gray area benefits to politicians everybody's concerned like we have a thousand boots the ground nobody ever asks how many contractors there is don't like hard to turn the

former blackwater ceo. >> so what you see is bob mueller trying to grab information and collect information. by the way, you got 1.2 million documents from donald trump in 90 days and yet they can'tn over 50,000 documents to congress in nine months, that's a problem. >> laura: what's next for nunez after the 5:00 p.m. deadline? >> i think the next thing is floor action for all of us. >> laura: ryan will do that? >> while he made a promise to us last week that if we didn't get all the documents by friday we would seep floor action this week. i'm waiting for him to follow through on that commitment, but if he doesn't -- >> laura: fees amount of his word, he will follow through. you may have to put pressure on him. let's get reaction out from former attorney general mike mckay zane. it's great to see you. you just heard from the congressman, this is wild. the justice that you have received all the documents that you are essentially entitled to. where are we tenant, judge? >> i haven't seen the subpoena for the document so i'm in the dark about where we are. but it's not an impossible task to t

blackwater founder erik prince handed over his phones and computer to mueller's office. much more he's cooperating, but we know that mueller has been looking into a specific meeting prince held with a russian banker and officials from the uae. so shimon prokupecz is all over this. he's our crime and justice reporter and if we're talking phones and computers what might the mueller team be looking to get? >> certainly contacts, brooke, certainly any other information that he obtained, it could be e-mails on hard drives. we know that erik prince was involved partially with the campaign, he wrote foreign policy papers, donations made, and then, of course, there's this seychelles meeting that occurred in january 2017 that the mueller team has been investigating. of interest in particular, we've been told is that there was a meeting between erik prince and a russian banker and, of course, there's been a lot of speculation that this meeting and that the russians were trying to set up a back-door channel, back-door communications with trump who was eventually about weeks away fr

erik prince, the brother of education secretary betsy devos, founder of the private security firm blackwater, erik prince has according to abc news had his phone and his computer taken by special counsel robert mueller's office. as the special counsel's office continues to investigate the russian attack on the 2016 presidential election and the question of what the trump campaign knew about it and whether they contemporaneously took any actions to abet the russians in that effort. erik prince of course met during the presidential transition in the seychelles islands with the head of a major russian investment firm. he was at that meeting reportedly as a representative of the incoming trump administration. the special counsel's office, we know, has reportedly been investigating that meeting in the seychelles islands and others. the special counsel's office has reportedly secured cooperation in exchange for an immunity deal from a witness who reportedly set up that meeting in the seychelles islands between erik prince and that russian investment fund guy. however erik prince does or does not f

has not confirmed about another trump tower meeting where the emirates -- where erik prince of blackwater was also at the seychelles meeting was there with the emirates and george nader and they offered essentially to help the trump campaign. and so the question here is were they helping during the election? did they step in after the election to try to broker a back channel so the russians could essentially seek to extract the concessions that they were looking for in exchange for the help they provided the trump team during the election? these are all questions that we think the mueller team is asking. >> betsy? >> i think one thing that's really important about this story that is sort of buried several paragraphs down is there was a separate counterintelligence investigation specifically looking into the influence operations that the emirates had in place going into the 2016 presidential election. that's really important because what that means is this is no longer just the russia investigation. this is the foreign influence investigation. another piece of this that's really important

and the fact that erik prince of blackwater fame was involved and does a lot of business in the middletored in. george nader is cooperating with mueller and is telling him that this was a back channel. this was a way for the russians to meet with officials in the trump administration or send messages to them about better relations with russia. don't forget this is after the election, before trump took office. >> anyway, according to nbc's reporting, rick gerson has been friends with kushner for more than a decade. however, gerson first met george nader just weeks before his trip to the seychelles in another secret meeting at the four seasons hotel in new york in mid-december, right after the election. the participants of that meeting included gerson, jared kushner, george nader, and the crown prince of the uae along with trump's national security adviser michael flynn and trump's political adviser steve bannon. so what everybody is watching -- and nobody is like you, ken. let me just ask you as we move towards a declaration of guilt perhaps -- i expect to have one from robert mueller.

. >>> also new today, trump associate blackwater founder eric prince has provided the special counsel mueller access to his phones and computers. we have new information. >>> and israel asked britain's prince william to convey a message to the palestinians. we have details on that as well. with tripadvisor, finding your perfect hotel at the lowest price... is as easy as dates, deals, done! simply enter your destination and dates... and see all the hotels for your stay! tripadvisor searches over 200 booking sites... to show you the lowest prices... so you can get the best deal on the right hotel for you. dates, deals, done! tripadvisor. visit tripadvisor.com i couldn't catch my breath. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. they said i had afib. what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. my doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected from a stroke. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem.
