Durbin calls for expulsion of Saudi ambassador in response to Khashoggi's death

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Sunday that the U.S. should formally expel Saudi Arabia's ambassador in response to the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

"We ought to formally expel the Saudi ambassador from the United States until there is a completion of a third-party investigation into this kidnap, murder and god-knows-what-followed that occurred in Istanbul," Durbin said.

He suggested the ambassador be expelled "tomorrow morning," calling it part of a broader effort to send a message to Saudi leadership about Khashoggi's death. Unless countries like the U.S. take action, he said, "they’ll continue doing it."

Durbin went on to argue that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman "has his fingerprints all over" Khashoggi's death, noting that several of the prince's personal bodyguards were among those detained in connection with the incident.
