Republican Senators Doubt Saudi Arabia's Account Of Jamal Khashoggi's Death
Republican senators on Sunday threw cold water on Saudi Arabia’s shifting explanations for journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s death, calling for significant action to be taken against the kingdom if the Saudi crown prince is found responsible.
