Merkley: ‘Absolutely’ Trump’s Engaging in Cover-Up of MBS’ Role in Khashoggi Killing To Maintain Saudi Arm Sales

‘The alliance is more important than Saudi’s activities’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MERKLEY: “I think it comes down to this. The president wants to maintain our arms sales to Saudi Arabia, and the secretary of state and the secretary of defense are making the calculation that the alliance is more important than Saudi’s activities. More important than their activities bombing Yemen and causing the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, more important than killing an American reporter, an American resident.”
