The Latest: Senator: ‘Smoking gun’ against prince would help
today
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi (all times local):
10:55 a.m.
A Republican member of the Senate intelligence committee says it looks like Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was involved in the death of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi (jah-MAHL’ khahr-SHOHK’-jee). But he adds that a “smoking gun” would help before the U.S. issues sanctions against the prince.
Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri told ABC “it’s hard to imagine” that Crown Prince Mohammed didn’t know about the killing, but he said, “I don’t know that we absolutely know that yet.”
Blunt has received a confidential intelligence briefing on the situation.
He says Congress will await the Trump administration’s report in the next two days. He says the U.S. will need to be clear about the ramifications of sanctions, given Saudi Arabia’s strategic role in the Middle East.
