SUMMARY: In a new Frontline documentary, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman addresses, for the first time, his role in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Smith joins Judy Woodruff to discuss what Frontline uncovered.
SUMMARY:After a briefing by CIA Director Gina Haspel, several prominent Democratic and Republican senators have concluded that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was indeed involved in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Nick Schifrin joins Judy Woodruff to discuss the significance of the bipartisan criticism of Saudi Arabia and three options for how U.S. policy could respond.
SUMMARY: Saudi Arabia was in the spotlight as the Senate considered U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen and intelligence about Jamal Khashoggi's murder. While Secretary of State Mike Pompeo helped lead the briefing, CIA director Gina Haspel's absence stunned members of both parties. Amidst the drama, three senators pushed for legislation to protect the special counsel. Lisa Desjardins reports.
I am Retired U.S. Navy (22yrs) and a Vietnam Veteran. After my Navy retirement I was in the computer related industry, now retired. In 2000 I was a registered Republican and voted for George W. Bush. Six months of having Bush in the Whitehouse forced me to re-evaluate my political stance. I had always thought of myself as a Moderate Republican, but was a Republican by "default" NOT because of close examination of the GOP. Due to what has happened in America since 2000, I now consider myself a progressive, and registered as a Non-Affiliated voter.
