Following a briefing by CIA Director Gina Haspel Tuesday, leading US senators emerged with the strong conviction that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul in October.
“I have zero question in my mind that the crown prince MBS ordered the killing, monitored the killing, knew exactly what was happening,” Sen. Bob Corker told ABC after the briefing. “Planned it in advance. If he was in front of a jury, he would be convicted in 30 minutes. Guilty.”
