The Trump administration is considering a set of proposals developed by 
Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a retired CIA officer — with assistance from 
Oliver North, a key figure in the Iran-Contra scandal — to provide CIA Director 
Mike Pompeo and the White House with a global, private spy network that would 
circumvent official U.S. intelligence agencies, according to several current 
and former U.S. intelligence officials and others familiar with the proposals. 
The sources say the plans have been pitched to the White House as a means of 
countering “deep state” enemies in the intelligence community seeking to 
undermine Donald Trump’s presidency.
