And last year, I learned that Beau and Sofia had been working out of this house in Georgetown. DAVIES: Right. I have a Wyoming drivers license, I am a Wyoming resident, and exploration is underway, Prince said of his potential Senate bid. They were, in fact, going to use a former Project Veritas operative named Tarah Price, who lives in the Dallas area, to, you know, possibly ensnare McMaster at a restaurant, get him to say something ill toward or maybe negative about Trump, something that would compromise him. He was dismayed, three former Project Veritas employees told the Times, with "O'Keefe's desire to produce quick media content rather than to run long-term infiltration operations." Private property rights are a major cornerstone to how Wyoming operates, but so is prioritizing a rural, quiet lifestyle - ultimately, the former won out in Sublette County. Mr. Seddon directed an undercover operative to secretly tape the unions local leaders and try to gather information that could be made public to damage the organization, documents show. We still don't know everything about it, and we're trying to learn more about exactly who was behind this and if money was paid and so on. Prince a former C.I.A. You know, there seemed to be - what it showed was, you know, Prince is well-traveled and is always looking for business opportunities. I believed that to be true at the time that I signed my declaration, Prince wrote, but I have since come to learn that I was mistaken.. Mr. Seddon was not. And her picture wasn't her name GOLDMAN: It was a fake name, Maria. And we're speaking with New York Times reporter Adam Goldman. Where we're not - what we hadn't really seen was an actual British spy, somebody trained in clandestine activities, launching a secret operation using undercovers with false - basically false cover stories to infiltrate political circles, gather information and collect it for whatever purpose, I guess, because ultimately, as our story says, this appeared to be a paper play. At the time I signed my [September] declaration I believed Jones Creek and CMNS to be Wyoming entities, but I have subsequently learned they are not; I believe they are Delaware entities, Prince wrote in the document, which he signed from California. One of the former spies, an ex-MI6 officer named Richard Seddon, helped run a 2017 operation to copy files and record conversations in a Michigan office of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the largest teachers unions in the nation.

And, you know, there were a whole range of people they went after. Mr. Halderman was copied on several messages providing updates about the Michigan operation, and in one message, he gave instructions to Ms. Jorge.

And we actually - I, you know, I - Mark and I reached out to our - one of great political reporters, Jonathan Martin, and asked him, you know. zoneId = 'Array'; Prince had hired a former MI6 officer to help train the Project Veritas operatives, The Intercept wrote, but it did not identify the officer.

Prince and Mr. Seddon met in August 2018 with Susan Gore, a Wyoming heiress to the Gore-Tex fortune, Ms. Gore became the projects main benefactor. Fast-forward to 2007, and Erik Prince was living in McLean, Virginia, and spending time on his Middleburg property, Blackwater Ranch, designed as a family retreat just as his parent's home in Cody had been originally. Mr. Seddon used other former Project Veritas employees to help with the Wyoming operation, including James Artherton, a British operative code-named kimchi who was involved in a Project Veritas plan targeting an editor for The New York Times in London in 2017. A local farmer was utilizing the land to grow corn and soybean crops, but the potential for the ranch was far from being realized. GOLDMAN: Yeah. (SOUNDBITE OF FRANK ZAPPA'S "EAT THAT QUESTION").

WASHINGTON During the summer of 2018, as Richard Seddon, a former British spy, was trying to launch a new venture to use undercover agents to infiltrate progressive groups, Democratic campaigns and other opponents of President Donald J. Trump, he turned for help to a longtime friend and former colleague: Erik Prince, the private military contractor. "He is not registered in Park County or [Wyoming] presently, unless he is not going by Erik Dean Prince and has changed his name," Park County Elections Deputy Pat Cole said in a Sept. 17 email; he said Prince hadn't voted in Wyoming since 2000.

Beau picks up - starts working this marijuana legalization angle to try to make contacts with people - elected officials who are, in fact, pushing this bill to legalize marijuana. And they were doing this - it appears that they were doing this from the house where Beau and Sofia lived with others. The Defense Department didn't go for it.

And GOLDMAN: Involving Roy Moore - exactly. Erik Prince, a Park County resident and founder of the controversial private military firm Blackwater, is suing a national news organization in federal court in Wyoming after it published an. You know, she attended that. I mean, he - it seems that - it's our understanding that Prince introduced Seddon to Project Veritas. What does that tell us about Erik Prince? No one tells Project Veritas who or what to investigate, he said. So Erik Prince, the private security contractor who is an ally and avid supporter of President Trump, connects with Project Veritas, who does these videos, and then they develop this whole different operation. The job put her in a position to gain valuable information about which Republican candidates the group was supporting with independent advertising. GOLDMAN: I think - yeah, I think the latest is - you know, he's worked - his latest adventure is in Libya.

GOLDMAN: Yeah, and the Justice Department prosecuted a number of individuals. But before the parties get to the lawsuits merits, The Intercept is contending, among other arguments, that Wyoming is not the right place for the case to be heard.

As the founder of Blackwater USA, now Academi, a private military company, Prince headed the organization.

Prince said he learned he wasnt registered when I went to cast my early vote for the general election in late September. GOLDMAN: Yeah. Did you receive the spare camera yet?.

Mr. Of course, everybody's familiar with Watergate, right? And as we quoted an expert in our story, you know, if there's a sudden pattern of somebody giving money to the Democrats and they had never done that before, you know, that could also raise suspicions.
