Back in June, the White House was aware of Prigozhin's rebellion; American media
In mid-June, the US intelligence services received data indicating that Yevgeny Prigozhin was preparing a rebellion in Russia, and they warned the White House about it. Still, they decided to remain silent, writes the Washington Post newspaper, citing officials.
According to the publication's sources, American intelligence received "sufficient signals" that indicated the preparation of the uprising. At the same time, the exact nature and specific dates of Prigogine's plans were unknown to them. Over the past two weeks, the agencies have briefed officials at the White House, the State Department, the Pentagon, and Congress on the developments.
According to the New York Times, US officials chose not to release the data because they feared Russia would accuse them of a coup attempt. In addition, the newspaper notes that they wanted to avoid helping the Russian authorities.
