'There's a lot of money that historically has flowed from Gulf state individuals to the Trump family fortune,' Senator Chris Murphy said, 'and that has to be part of the explanation as to why they continue to bend over backwards to try to make the Saudis happy.'
Senator Chris Murphy argued that President Donald Trump is committing"nuclear nonproliferation malpractice" by transferring nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia against the wishes of Congress, as a bipartisan group of lawmakers aims circumvent a multibillion-dollar arms sale to the kingdom.
"Saudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb, but without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible," the crown prince told CBS News in an interview. Khashoggi was tortured, killed and cut into pieces with a bonesaw after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul at the beginning of last October. Although the kingdom initially denied the killing of the U.S. resident, who was a prominent Saudi dissident who had fled the kingdom, it later admitted that the operation had been carried out after intense international backlash.
