Anderson to Chris Murphy: Is Trump Admin Part of the Cover-Up with the Saudis?

‘There are these reports that the Trump family has deep financial connections to the Saudis’

EXCERPT:

COOPER: "Do you think it is just naiveté on the part of the administration or if they are, in fact, part of the cover-up if, in fact, there is a cover-up on the part of the Saudis?"
MURPHY: "Listen, I don’t know, but I think that we’ve got to start asking some real questions as to why the Trump family seems to be so eager to let the Saudis control this relationship? I mean, this idea that we can’t really upset the Saudis because they buy weapons from the United States or they sell us oil is ridiculous. The Saudis are much more dependent on the United States than we are on them and it's a sign of just immeasurable weakness to the world. Yes, there are these reports that the Trump family has deep financial connections to the Saudis, of course we already know that the Saudis buy a lot of real estate and rent a lot of property from the Trump family. Maybe that alone is enough for them to have an overly cozy relationship with the regime and with the family, but I think we'll have to ask some deeper questions about, why we’ve become so pliant to the Saudis when we already have all the evidence we need to know they have been lying to the world and to the American public."
