> Investigative journalist Oliver Schrom said the CIA knew early about plans to sabotage the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines. He said officers on the ground initially raised no objections and even acknowledged financial participation, but the US position changed after Dutch intelligence learned of the plans. A suspected perpetrator’s trial is beginning in Hamburg.
