The Washington Post says the US Senate must push for accountability after Trump defied Congress and didn't report whether Saudi crown prince MBS was responsible for Jamal Khashoggi's murder
It has been a month since the Trump administration flouted a legal requirement to report to the Senate on the responsibility of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Khashoggi, a US resident and contributor for The Post, was brutally murdered inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last October shortly after he entered the diplomatic facility. In November, the CIA concluded with high confidence that bin Salman ordered Khashoggi's killing, according to The Post."The Senate’s view is already clear: It unanimously approved a resolution in December holding the crown prince responsible," the editorial board wrote.
