on, corker himself has had to have been given the go ahead. the united states government and saudi government are handling the fallout of the disappearance will be major issue, not just diplomacy but military issues. you used to have to organize these briefings on behalf of the obama administration. that s right. we would work with the intelligence community, defense department, state department and bring up the experts and there are classified briefing rooms in the capitol where leading members like chairman corker, bob menendez will be asking tough questions and the executive branch has that information. will the executive branch be forthcoming or not? joel r. bin, thank you. betsy, sahil, stick around. we re heading to the place that some call the weekend white house, with a look at how
days before. these are very serious questions. betsy, you cover congress. bob corker is a little ticked off. he feels like he s out of the loop on this one, joel and sawhill. he says he doesn t feel like he s getting the briefings he should be getting. there s a group of senators who signed a letter asking a magnitski act investigation. corker has said that the administration has clamped down, in his words, in sharing intel about this issue with the senators, which is a remarkable thing. i think it s indicating from corker s perspective that he is skeptical that the administration is working hand in hand with congress to move forward on this. corker himself is a really pivotal character in this situation. in part because currently american defense manufacturers are negotiating the weapons deals with the government of saudi arabia. for those deals to be signed off

mean, secretary mattis, actually. he would not want to be demoted to that level, i know. but i support that. and the purpose of that waiver was it not was to allow countries that were dealing with that we wish to buy american military equipment to be weaned off russian equipment, they still had to buy parts to do so. so that we can more fully implement strategies with them working with them to really push back against other countries, is that correct? senator corker, you captured it well. it is secretary mattis and i putting forward this request proposal in request to the waivers. they have historic weapons systems. if we deny them the capacity to have spare parts or to round out that process, then we re likely to drive them into the hands of the russians. i don t think that was the aim of the sanctions themselves. and so we re working to affection wait the intent of the statute by seeking this waiver. it s pretty narrow. senator rubio. would the chairman yield? rubio may yield
