Erik Prince is the brother of Education Secretary and billionaire Betsy DeVos.
He's also a sometimes unofficial advisor to President Trump.
According to Business Insider, Prince worked to recruit former spies to infiltrate left-wing organizations.
Undercover operatives recorded leaders in liberal campaigns and organizations in an attempt to release information that could damage them.
The operations were spearheaded by right-wing group Project Veritas.
It's known for secretly recording and releasing tapes of members of the news media.
In one instance, Prince helped recruit a former member of M16 to infiltrate the American Federation of Teachers.
Richard Seddon then directed an undercover woman to secretly film leaders of the union in order to get dirt to damage the organization.
It's unclear whether anyone with ties to the Trump administration knew about the Prince/Project Veritas operation.
