A former senior CIA official who was recently appointed by Joe Biden to an intelligence advisory board previously served as a key adviser to NSO Group, where he vetted deals for the Israeli spyware company and voted on whether sales of the controversial hacking tools could proceed.
Jeremy Bash served on NSO’s business ethics committee (BEC), where he was instrumental in giving advice to the company on whether proposed sales by the Israeli group to specific foreign government clients would be seen as acceptable to the US government, multiple sources familiar with the matter said.
