Senate Dem on Armed Services panel: Trump lying about CIA report on Khashoggi

Washington (CNN)The top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee on Friday accused President Donald Trump of lying about the CIA's report that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman personally ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Trump said Thursday that the CIA "did not come to a conclusion" about the crown prince's involvement in the murder.

"They have feelings certain ways, but they didn't -- I have the report," Trump said.

When asked if the President was lying about the CIA's conclusion, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Jack Reed said, "Yes. The CIA concluded that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was directly involved in the assassination of Khashoggi."

Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian journalist and US resident, was killed in a Saudi consulate in Istanbul last month. He was a frequent critic of the Saudi Arabian government.

"They did it, as has been reported to the press, with high confidence, which is the highest level of accuracy that they will vouch for," Reed said. "It's based on facts, it's based on analysis. The notion that they didn't reach a conclusion is just unsubstantiated. The CIA has made that clear."

9. He is a con/sales man. It's in his DNA.

Look at his own dad and his kids. One day Barron will run for POTUS (my prediction). They are delusional but many Americans have the memory of a gnat and will buy anything that is sold to them. .
