Jamal Khashoggi Case: Senators Force U.S. Probe of Saudi Arabia - Bloomberg:
President Donald Trump said Wednesday night that he did not want to block arms sales to Saudi Arabia over the disappearance of a Saudi journalist, a move that has been suggested by some who are demanding answers to the mystery.
“I think that would be hurting us. We have jobs, we have a lot of things happening in this country,” Trump said in a telephone interview with Fox News. “Frankly, I think that would be a very, very tough pill to swallow.”
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators is forcing the Trump administration to investigate the disappearance of the journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, triggering a human rights probe that could result in sanctions against Saudi officials and entities.
