Blackwater's Erik Prince, Bro of SecEd Betsy DeVoe, Hired Spies To Penetrate Democratic Leaning Organizations

Security contractor Erik Prince, who has close ties to the Trump administration, recruited former American and British spies to perform sting operations and infiltrate Democratic organizations, a new report claims.

The New York Times reported Saturday that Prince - Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' brother - recruited a former MI6 agent, Richard Seddon, to help run a 2017 sting at the Michigan headquarters of the American Federation of Teachers.

During the sting, Seddon was said to have told the operative placed inside the organization - Marisa Jorge, 23 - to copy union files and secretly tape conversations between local union leaders, so they could be made public with the aim of damaging the union.
