Erik Prince has long been a controversial outside figure in President Trump’s extended political orbit.

Viewed as a pariah by some senior officials by the end of Trump’s first term, CNN reporting has uncovered a far more influential role in first months of Trump’s second term. #CNN #News #trump #erikprince
