Rep. Adam Schiff To Erik Prince: 'There’s Nothing Wrong With Our Transcript'
House Intel Chair Adam Schiff tells Meet the Press host Chuck Todd that there was nothing wrong with the transcript of Erik Prince's testimony before his committee and that he did not disclose that he was present during a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower.
Host Chuck Todd played video of Prince being confronted with his lack of truthfulness on Al Jazeera.
Todd said, "Erik Prince, who is the brother of the Secretary of Education, but also has been...sort of... before your committee having to do with some odd meetings that he had set up in the Seychelles, he was on Al Jazeera and he was asked about some testimony to your committee and about whether he lied or not.
After realizing he he just got caught lying in his previous testimony to the House about the second Trump Tower meeting, Prince said, "I don't know if they got the transcript wrong."
Todd asked if the transcript was indeed wrong.
Chairman Schiff replied, "Well, he's certainly not telling the truth in that interview. There’s nothing wrong with our transcript. There was nothing wrong with the reporter who transcribed his testimony. He did not disclose that meeting to our committee.”
He said his testimony and his interview looked very inconsistent and it's up to Bob Mueller to decide if it's a deliberate lie/falsehood/Conway strategy or not.
Todd asked, "What's your concern about what he was doing?"
