mike hanna is in washington d.c. we'll speak to them in just a few moments first the latest on the investigation from al. on wednesday turkish investigators turned their attention to the saudi consul donal's home after finally being given permission to enter it's a team of forensic experts some police headed by the attorney general's office began combing through the residence from inside and out all in the presence of saudi officials the exception being the consul general himself who unexpectedly left turkey the day before. by the evening of fishel had told al jazeera that investigators had uncovered more evidence in the case of missing journalists. down the road a second search of the consulate itself was conducted on wednesday with police focusing on the c. block section of the compound where they had previously uncovered evidence that they say proved she was murdered more and more information is being revealed as a clearer picture begins to form albeit slowly of what's happened to jamal

enter simons who is outside the consul general home and istanbul so what's the latest that's happening there and what's what's wrapped up now. yes it has just said more than an hour ago the fans left this location turkish investigators forensic teams who had carried out a pretty intense by the look of it investigation here not only in the building itself but also the garden and the garrote a vehicle a was seen by security cameras on monday leaving the consulate where the murder was alleged to take taken place coming here to the residence of consul general mohammed tavi that let me just take a look here just moving a little on this scene we have two vehicles parked up outside they're not involved in any investigation it would seem there seem to be security and then see this

building were closer now because the cordons of being lifted and you can see those windows on the first floor a few hours back. clear images of the forensic offices at work looking at a variety of things quite hard to distinguish through those windows but they did according to the prosecutor's office find samples now that's quote unquote find samples now whether these were samples of d.n.a. or whether they were actually blood samples is unclear but apparently according to the sources they were quite convincing in terms of evidence and they're part of a file which is being put together with the findings of these investigators to put towards some sort of statement that is expected hopefully some suggest this

week to actually indicate whether or not there is a clear cut case against the saudis in terms of this murder. it is being. reported and as it is also becoming clearer and clearer there are signs that the accounts are varied accounts the south is denying it point blank initially that even that g. was in in the consulate building at all after the announcement was made that he was missing out of course that was not correct and now the issue is really whether or not the crown prince had a direct hand in this whole affair but a lot of concentration richelle on those involved those fifteen people who flew in on a private jet a lot of concentration about identifying all of them a lot of work has gone on and a big file is being put together about their backgrounds and their linkage with the

royal household and exactly what sort of orders they may have received and what they actually did here in istanbul all right interest and it's live in istanbul thank you andrea now the u.s. president trying passed a nine helping cover up saudi arabia's role in the case but he is facing growing pressure from politicians to reveal his business ties with riyadh and punish the saudis if it's proven they were involved in his disappearance alan fisher has more on that. u.s. president donald trump will receive his own person report on the case in the coming hours he's urged the turks to hand over any audio and video recordings the me have we've asked for if it exists. no i'm not sure yet that it exists probably does possibly i'll have a full report on that from mike when he comes back that me swe a president who shifted his position on the saudis in the last few days they are an ally we have other very good allies in the middle east but if you look at saudi

arabia they're an ally and they're a tremendous purchaser of not only military equipment but other things the report will come from his secretary of state who is he still. dispatched off to the region in the face of growing political uproar in ankara he met with turkish president recip type at the want to shoot cans for the camera but said nothing in public about the disappearance of the journal elliott might pompeo spent time with senior saudi figures during a visit to riyadh and said they promised a fool and transparent investigation they made no exception to that they would hold accountable to what they were just for they were very clear they are they understand the importance of this issue they are determined to get to the bottom of it and that they will conduct a report and will will all get a chance to see if they take each promise that they would achieve that existed but he insisted it was too early to get into details about what happened to the washington post columnist i don't want to talk about any of the facts. that they didn't want to either in that they want to have the opportunity to complete this

investigation in a thorough way there's growing pressure in congress and on congress to take action against saudi arabia house speaker the third most important republican in the country paul ryan says they have the tools to act we have laws for this we recently passed the magnitsky act which is a man who was killed in prison in a russian prison so we have sanction laws on the books the number of high profile withdrawals from an important study business conference continues to increase the head of the international monetary fund the latest to join the growing boy court donald trump says he expects a food report by the end of the week an indication the americans are keen to get this incident of the huge drug between two allies behind them as quickly as possible. obviously the washington. speculation grows over donald trump's possible conflict of interest in saudi arabia group of democratic senators want him to disclose any financial ties with the kingdom so let's go to mike hanna for more on

that in washington d.c. so put this in some sort of perspective and explain what is the basis that they're using to request this information like. well the group of democrat senators have sent that letter to president trump asking him to reveal all business ties he might have with saudi arabia over the past decade in that letter they mention a lot of connections that they have been pointing out that president trump has sold apartments to saudi businessmen he's even sold his yacht they also mentioned that president trump himself boasted back in two thousand and fifteen about his connection with saudi businessmen and his sale of apartments to them the situation though is that this is part of the effort by democrat senators to get clear decision making within the white house that is not obscured by any form of linkage that the trumpet ministration might up with saudi arabia the background to this

that they can ski act this is an act that has been invoked by bipartisan senators both democrat and republican it's been sent to president trump he has a one hundred twenty days to decide whether sanctions should be imposed on saudi arabia or indeed if the democrats send the senators who've just sent this letter all concerned that any business ties he might have with saudi arabia would cloud his decision making so they've asked for clarity on this they're demanding that he reveal exactly what kind of links he has and mike there is this conflict to put it mildly that is she said donald trump has bragged about his financial ties to saudi arabia but then in a tweet a few days ago he said that he did not have any business relationship with them whatever the case to their democratic senators have any legal basis for for demanding these revelations from from trying. it's president trump treated this week that he has no business ties inside saudi arabia in parentheses he added or

indeed inside russia but the legal basis of this letter by democrats well to put quite bluntly it has no legal basis whatsoever is in effect a request by the democrat senators but it's also part of this ongoing divide between the administration and those within congress these democrat congresses senators are sending the message that they are concerned about president trump's decision. to take decisions without bias toward saudi arabia now this just came from democrats but this also being concerns expressed by republican senators and republicans in the house about the situation with saudi arabia so the division between the administer.
