Per Congressional request, President Trump’s admin has until *today* to report on Saudi Crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman’s role in Jamal #khashoggi’s killing.
Today, we will see if Trump will let Saudi Arabia get away with murdering a @washingtonpost writer.
Last night, the New York Times reported that intercepted communications revealed that the Saudi Crown prince wanted to “use a bullet” on Jamal as early as 2017.

It’s easy to get cynical and allow ourselves to watch quietly while the president tries to let a foreign power literally get away with murdering a member of the US press.
As Americans, we cannot allow this to happen.
The president is spreading lies.
1) ABC reported that Jared Kushner was the one pushing to inflate the value of those arms sales abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/k…
The Saudis have been transferring weapons to Al-Qaeda- linked militias. cnn.com/interactive/20…
A clear violation of US arms deal rules.
And— We need to halt arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
Then we must thoroughly investigate Trump and Kushner’s financial and other ties to MBS.
Remember, MBS once reportedly bragged about having Kushner “in his pocket.”
Let that treachery sink in.

If they fail, Congress must step up.
Happy Friday, and let’s not stop fighting for #JusticeForJamal #khashoggi
