On the eve of an unprecedented vote to end US support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, Senate Republican leaders are hoping to secure bipartisan support for a resolution formally condemning Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for his alleged role in murdering journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Despite being nonbinding, the resolution would serve as a strong, bipartisan rebuke against the crown prince as senators try to agree on more concrete policy measures to take against Saudi Arabia. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., himself is co-sponsoring the bill, which Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., intends to introduce as early as today.
