Hume on Khashoggi: ‘This Is a Test for Mr. Trump’ If the Facts Establish the Saudis Were Responsible

EXCERPT:

HEMMER: "No conclusions on the Saudi story, but it appears to be gaining a certain velocity unto itself."
HUME: "It does. And it’s a big deal, Bill, because Saudi Arabia is an absolute pillar of the Trump Administration’s Middle East policy because it is regarded as an ally and bullwork against Iran, not to mention the fact that it still as John Roberts was noting has some real leverage in the petroleum market. So on those two counts alone the United States has to handle this with considerable care. On the other hand, the outrage in this country about this is real and it appears, you know, this hideous atrocity was committed and it can’t go unrecognized and unacted upon. So this is a test for Mr. Trump and his administration if the facts do, in fact, establish that the Saudi government was responsible for this."
