A bipartisan group of lawmakers is crying foul over the Donald Trump administration’s refusal to publicly disclose a list of every Saudi official complicit in the 2018 murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. And one senator — Ron Wyden of Oregon — is about to turn to a little-used mechanism on the Intelligence Committee to force the US intelligence community to declassify the list, which could implicate Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“The Trump administration’s silence on this has just been deafening, particularly because the administration is ignoring a law duly passed by the Congress and signed into law by the president of the United States,” Wyden told reporters standing beside Hatice Cengiz, Khashoggi’s fiancée.
