Judge: US must provide limited info on Khashoggi death tape

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — The U.S. government must provide limited information about its withholding from the public a tape of the killing of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi and a CIA report on his death in a Freedom of Information Act case, a judge said Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer said public statements, including by President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and the head of the Central Intelligence Agency have made clear that the items exist. Trump called the killing “horrible” but said Saudi Arabia has “been a terrific ally.” In a written ruling, Engelmayer said the case remained in an early stage and the limited disclosure of information about the items “will not reveal as-yet unrevealed information” pertaining to foreign relations or activities by the United States or its agencies’ intelligence sources and methods. “Today’s court order is a crucial victory in addressing the Trump administration’s shameful cover-up of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder,” Amrit Singh, a lawyer for the Justice Initiative, said in a statement.
