US intelligence knew Wagner revolt was imminent
US spy agencies picked up signs days ago that Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was preparing to rise up against Russia's defence establishment, US media reported.
Intelligence officials conducted briefings at the White House, the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill about the potential for unrest in nuclear-armed Russia a full day before it unfolded, the Washington Post and New York Times reported.
Spy agencies first began tracking indications that Mr Prigozhin and his Wagner private military company intended to move against the Russian military leadership in mid-June, the Post said.
The New York Times said the information was both solid and alarming by mid-week, leading to the flurry of briefings.
