Chris Murphy: No Way Khashoggi ‘Murder Happened Without the Consent and Direction of MBS’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: “There’s a cover-up given the fact that everybody in that briefing last week knew that Pompeo and Mattis were misleading us, knew that there was no way this murder happened without the consent and direction of MBS. I think the only danger for me as we go into this debate about what to do in Yemen, as important as it is to me to hold MBS responsible and hold the Saudi regime responsible, a lot of us also want to make sure that we keep our eye on the ball, that we also in this debate make sure that the United States doesn’t continue to help the Saudis perpetuate war crimes in Yemen. It’s not just about the Khashoggi murder. It’s about the 85,000 kids who have died in Yemen from starvation and disease in the last three years."
