Jamal Khashoggi’s fiancee will be watching President Donald Trump as he discusses his record in the Middle East at his annual State of the Union address on Tuesday. Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., has invited the murdered Washington Post journalist’s fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, as his guest to Trump’s address.
“Hatice’s courage to sit in the House chamber Tuesday night should serve as a clarion call to the president that no matter how high it goes, Saudi Arabia must be held accountable for the murder of this loving father and fiancee, respected journalist, US resident, my constituent and reformer,” Connolly said in a statement. “Congress has acted. Now too must the president.”
