President Trump is considering creating a private network of spies that would be controlled directly by him and his CIA chief, according to a report.
The alleged proposal comes in part from Blackwater founder Erik Prince and would be separate from existing intelligence agencies in order to counteract the supposed “deep state” in the national security apparatus that is opposed to the commander-in-chief, sources told The Intercept.
Prince’s Blackwater previously provided privately contracted soldiers to the U.S., though scandal over operations that included civilian deaths in Iraq has led him to rebrand the venture and begin working with powers such as China and the United Arab Emirates.
The new proposed intelligence wing, which has reportedly been soliciting Trump donors for financing, would also include spies in areas such as North Korea and Iran.
White House may be considering creating a private spy network to counteract the 'deep state'
Of course, as per past actions, the members of this unit would swear personal allegiance to Donald Trump, not the United States or the Constitution.
