While. That does it for us this morning. Morning joe starts right now. Good morning and welcome to morning joe. On an extremely busy wednesday, october 10th, were following a number of fastpaced developing stories this morning. Chilling new reporting from the Washington Post and the New York Times on the disappearance of Washington Post columnist jim malkashogi. Well talk to David Ignatius about that and get the very latest. Well have him about the political and Foreign Policy implications of the sudden resignation of u. N. Ambassador nikki haley.
