oon a bridge. that is the river between mexico and guatemala. the massive caravan was stopped by mexican police in riot gear yesterday. a russian woman facing charges for allegedly financing a troll operation to interfere in the upcoming midterm elections. we ll start with the death of jamal khashoggi. we have reporters across the globe gathering the latest on this developing story. we begin with law enforcement analyst josh campbell. he is in istanbul. josh, what are turkish officials saying about that late, really late admission from the saudis? reporter: they issued a statement, according to media, saying that the turks continue their investigation, that evidence will be shared with the world whenever it s finished, whenever they re certain of what they have. we re still waiting to hear that. obviously the ball is in their court to respond, to provide additional information.
candidates running for various offices are going to sit on their hands and wait for a nonexistent investigation to play out. so i think we re going to see those who are auditioning for a possible run for president really speaking out against the bankruptcy of this particular policy. i think we ll have other candidates that are opposed to the administration making the argument that, look, the united states has not this administration has not even nominated an ambassador to this country, to the extent that people want to find fault with the htuman rights policy such a it says with the administration, the failure to fill petitions, with questions lurking in the background of possible financial ties between the trump family and the saudis all of these things are going to come up. they re not going to wait 30 days for air a for a bogus investigation. errol, i want you to listen first to virginia republican
