18 days since khashoggi was killed. the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee reacting with a statement of his own last night saying the stories the saudis have told about jamal khashoggi s disappearance continues to change with each passing day. so we should not assume their latest story holds water. they can undergo their own investigation but the u.s. administration must make its own independent credible determination of responsibility for khashoggi s murder. president trump though striking a different tone i think it s a good first step. a big step. a lookout of people involved. i think it s a great first step. saudi arabia has been a great ally but what happened is unacceptable. turkish authorities were initially denied access to the saudi consulate in istanbul for two weeks among reports of multiple cleaning crews traveling in and out of building, ed. ed: gill i can t believe turner appreciate your report. obviously we will get back to congresswoman comstock:
one hundred million dollars were transferred to the u.s. that have been promised back in the summer i mean there are signs that the americans are trying to move on and overcome this crisis regardless perhaps of what will emerge later on in this investigation into the question as to what extent you can call it an investigation of there s so little there s a little details coming out unserviceable it as it were yeah so when it s so hard to decide which which side you re going to believe and evidence you know might have been destroyed when cleaning crews are coming in our story there could be some d.n.a. in that cleaning crew material that we had we can t forget that we need to talk a little bit more about the the man his sources and ties penetrated deep within the saudi power structure both he. and but he was also in contact rather with individuals and organizations fiercely opposed to the powerful saod dynasty and
