Trump is upping his incredible (in the literal sense) claim the arms deal he inked with Saudi Arabia last year will deliver 500,000 new jobs. Then, upped it to 600,000. Now, 1,000,000.
Also, only $14.5 billion of the $110 billion deal has actually begun to take effect.

Schiff: The announcement "Khashoggi was killed while brawling with a team of more than a dozen dispatched from Saudi Arabia is not credible. If Khashoggi was fighting inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, he was fighting for his life with people sent to kill him.
