Schiff plans to probe intel assessment of Khashoggi killing
Source: The Hill
The Democrat set to chair the House Intelligence Committee in the next Congress says lawmakers will investigate the intelligence community's assessment of the death of Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post journalist who was killed after entering a Saudi consulate in Turkey.
In an interview with The Washington Post published Friday, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), said that probing the CIA's assessment of whether the killing was ordered by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman would be a top priority for Democrats.
Certainly we will be delving further into the murder of Khashoggi, and I want to make sure that the committee is fully debriefed on it, Schiff told the Post. We will certainly want to examine what the intelligence community knows about the murder," he added.
Schiff went on in the interview to stress that it was important to determine whether President Trump had leaned on CIA sources this week when he refused to implicate bin Salman in the crime, or whether the president was ignoring the assessment of intelligence sources.
