greeting mohammad bin salman, the crown prince of saudi arabia who the cia says ordered the murder of washington post journalist jamal khashoggi. trump has cast doubt on bin salman s role in that murder. we don t know why. we don t know if anything the saudi crown prince might have on president trump. what we do know is this, trump has made clear he is willing to lie to cover up his business interests. last week he insisted he doesn t make any deals with saudi arabia. back in 2015 he was telling a very different story. i like the saudis. they re very nice. i make a lot of money with them. they buy all sorts of my stuff, all kinds of toys from trump. they pay me millions and hundreds of millions. democratic senator richard blumenthal, is the president compromised? he is extremely compromised. the russians have the same leverage over him they had over michael flynn. that s the reason the former attorney general wanted flynn fired, it s the reason that flynn was prosecuted.
