• But DailyMail.com can reveal that Zayed brought with him Hamad al Mazroie, the de facto head of the United Arab Emirates intelligence service


• He also brought Mohammed Dahlan, a bin Zayed adviser who is fluent in Russian and is seen as a conduit from the UAE to Putin's Kremlin


• Prince did not disclose both men's presence when he testified under oath about the meeting to the House Intelligence Committee
