Blackwater was formed by Prince in 1996 to provide training services to law enforcement, military personnel and other government agencies. It gained widespread attention for its work in Iraq and Afghanistan, providing security services for U.S. officials and military personnel, with critics viewing its rise as a result of the U.S. military’s overextension in the Middle East.</p><p>The military contractor came under scrutiny in 2007 following the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NisourSquareMassacre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NisourSquareMassacre</span></a>, when <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a> contractors opened fire and killed 17 Iraqi civilians and wounded 20 others — raising questions about oversight and accountability of private contractors. Several contractors were charged with manslaughter, and four were convicted in 2014. Trump pardoned them at the end of his first term in December 2020.</p><p>"Trump’s pardon was just one example of the influence of Prince’s family during the first Trump administration. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BetsyDeVos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BetsyDeVos</span></a>, Prince’s sister, served as the president’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> secretary, while Prince used his Trump connections as he chased business ventures in the U.S. and abroad.</p><p>"In 2018, he reportedly helped raise money for an effort to spy on progressives and Democratic organizations opposed to Trump."
