White House ‘increasingly confident’ Wagner leader Prigozhin died in plane crash
Fox News
The White House says it is "increasingly confident" that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary forces, died in last week's plane crash in Russia.
"We are increasingly confident that Prigozhin died in the plane crash that took place on August 23rd this past Wednesday," Jean-Pierre said. "I don’t have any new assessment on that for you, so I’ll just leave it there." Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Jean-Pierre’s comments come a day after the Russian Investigative Committee said genetic testing on the 10 bodies recovered at the crash site confirmed the identities of all of those listed on board the doomed flight – including Prigozhin and some of his top lieutenants.
