The White House was briefed earlier this month about intelligence from spy agencies that indicated Yevgeny Prigozhin was plotting a move against Vladimir Putin, The Washington Post reports. One U.S. official told the Post “there were enough signals to be able to tell the leadership … that something was up.” U.S. intelligence chiefs think Putin also had a head’s up—“definitely more than 24 hours ago,” the official said—and it’s unknown why he didn’t make a pre-emptive move.
