US lawmakers push for release of intelligence on Khashoggi murder

Al Jazeera  

Defying Congress, the Trump administration refused to publicly release US intel on the killing of Saudi journalist. Washington, DC – Two members of the United States Congress said on Tuesday they will push for the public release of a new US intelligence report on the 2018 murder of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Tom Malinowski, both Democrats, joined by Khashoggi’s fiance Cengiz Hatice, held a news conference on Tuesday to announce plans to force release the US report. Khashoggi “was lured out of the United States by the government of Saudi Arabia with the purpose of murdering and silencing him”, said Representative Malinowski. The spokesperson added: “The Intelligence Community has a legal and moral obligation to protect classified information and ensure sources and methods are not jeopardised.” Members of Congress are continuing to debate and reassess the US relationship with Saudi Arabia amid increased military tensions with Iran and the war in Yemen.
