it's a very fair question please october the twenty third was when gina housefull flew to ankara and she was she did listen to the tape reportedly we were pretty sure of that whether it was actually there and then i think that's the case but we don't have formal confirmation of that but we'd be very surprised if it was anything else october the twenty third was when she was in ankara she had the full briefing she returned and as you say she briefed she briefed the president now whether or not all of this dates it was assembled already because it was three weeks after the murder remember before she actually came out to turkey and that was back in october the twenty third since then there has been an amazing amount of work done by the cia according to wall sources we've spoken to that has led to the point where it's an assembly of data it's an assembly of some of it's circumstantial evidence some of it pointing in a certain direction whether there was a smoking gun that is a key question and one that might be very relevant in the coming hours the coming days perhaps the coming weeks bu

about what's been reported in the cia conclusion in the paps in the form of gina housefull speaking in front of congress or another way. not at this point i mean right now first of all the internal dynamics gina haskell doesn't go public i mean gina housefull although she was in turkey conferring with the turks she reported back. to the white house but she said nothing publicly yourself now the second reason why i think we don't get anything at this point is because of the the split within washington the cia the state department the military are lined up against donald trump and his enter circle notably his son in law jared kirshner trump and kirshner do not want any blame placed on him b.s. . even a while an hour ago donald trump said we rely on the saudis for business we rely on the saudis for jobs which indicates that he's not going to take any notice of this so no the reason why this has been leaked to the media is precisely because the cia knows it cannot get official backing at this point from the trumpet ministration for its conclusion and that was going to be precisely my next

process would start probably with committee hearings you mention the hypothetical right now that gina housefull might be called i don't think a beach in a hospital let's say secretary of state might pump a zero defense secretary jim out us and if those hearings got enough publicity the idea would be this would generate more drive to try to contain the saudis but i'm not certain we're going to get that far partly because we're in a period before the next congress is seated and i think partly because even amongst the cia and the agencies the sentiment is not to remove m.b.'s but more to contain him look to try to use this as leverage to get some type of negotiations over the yemeni civil war and also some type of pressure on saudi arabia to ease the blockade and maybe even lifted on kotter what about the white house though scott do you expect the white house to try and resist any pressure from congress. absolutely i mean the white house for example for months resisted sanctions against russia given donald trump's affinity for a lot of reports on but they did finally have to give way the white hou

people are taking a very close look and that he was going to be talking with the cia director gina housefull about the report and about what intelligence operatives believe happened to mr he reiterated later on saturday that there would now be some sort of final administration report coming out perhaps on monday or perhaps on tuesday of this week in the next couple of days but the u.s. government is still saying that the u.s. government and you can interpret that to mean the u.s. president has not made the final determination the cia is saying that there's really no other way that this murder could have taken place if mohammed bin solomon had not been intimately involved but the white house has not made that declaration and so that's what people in congress are going to be waiting to see. people who knew jamal khashoggi in the journalism community here in the united states as well as in the foreign policy community in the u.s. want to see and certainly people who are just ordinary observers of the ways of the world they're all waiting to see how the white house is going to respond to this re

fact the case was senators wanted to know they wanted to hear directly from the cia director gina housefull she after all was dispatched to turkey as soon as the murder was announced she is privy to all of the intel they wanted to see her here is part of this briefing she didn't show up and senators later came out and said the secretary's were asked about that and they said the white house told her she couldn't come so this is really outraged and it's outraged normal allies of president donald trump you heard lindsey graham right there keep in mind republicans have a tiny majority in the u.s. senate a one or two. more senators follow suit with his threat to basically not vote on any spending legislation till he hears directly from the cia director that could grind this town to a halt so that is a very serious threats and i have to tell you for those who came to the camera we didn't hear from all one hundred u.s. senators those who came from the to the camera to talk to the media there was some really surprising language that was used about saudi arabia the crown prince that we don't normall

asked the secretary of state mike pompei o the defense secretary jim masses and the cia director gina housefull to give a briefing this month about yemen and the murder of jamal khashoggi under simmons has more from istanbul. the political dimension to this crisis has never been bigger and tape on the turkish president is looking to the united states for the next move not just the president donald trump who has said that he would form a strong opinion that hasn't been delivered yet mean but to congress particularly people like the republican senate certain lindsey graham who's said that that mohammed bin salomon is unstable and unreliable in his latest comments he said he doesn't see a situation where the u.s. can do business with such a man now that is a view shared by many republicans and also democrats of course but is it enough to actually form the persuasive vote within congress hard to call but there are a set of sanctions being looked at and the democrats are saying that they may go for sanctions to the highest level of the saudi royal household and so this debate is getting heavier but

evidence coming from that audio tape that has been released that we know that the cia director gina housefull has listened to about the documents the death of. there is reporting that in fact that there is audio on therefore pointing to the fact that the job has been done and to let your boss know had been solomon but the national security adviser saying that there was not conclusive per. of that so they seem to continually be saying on the one hand there's a need for a strong response and on the other hand saying but keep in mind we must calibrate this because of doubt because of strategy because of the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia so in the absence of this very strong vigorous response much as we saw in the very early days from donald trump when he was pressed by reporters we see the u.s. congress moving ahead somewhat slowly but moving ahead trying to do what they feel the executive branch of the united states government is not doing and that is a more forceful response that would potentially hold the highest levels of the saudi government responsible for the death of jim all right

that there would be some sort of conclusive report based on his briefing with the cia director gina housefull monday or tuesday we're watching very carefully to see what more he can say because again while his own vice president is even said that the united states is absolutely committed to ensuring all those responsible are held accountable many say the president has the final say on that they want to see where he stands kimberly how could so the white house kimberly on twitter if you want to connect with her there. for all the opposition to saudi arabia and mohamed bin someone there has to be a counter narrative out there isn't it scaring us welcome all while the spotlight this kharkiv on riyadh and also the top saudi officials close to the crown prince saying this counter-narrative online some supporting moment been salonen sodje arabia and pushing a message of peace using the hash tag we love m.b.'s. hardy my name is mohammed i'm from getting the word. today i want to send a message to the world in our country we're the old people i mean do not care if you're black or you watch what drew

intelligence community specifically the cia director gina housefull in the director of national intelligence dan coats to issue a public assessment of the killing in fact the feeling that the white house knows more than it is making available to the public and that there is a radisson to hold the highest levels of this saudi government responsible for this killing for ordering the kid killing even as the cia has made public in terms of a leak to the washington post that it believes that mohammed bin some of the crown prince ordered this in fact this is something that reporters put to kellyanne conway the white house counsel earlier today she pushed back on any suggestion that this white house has been slow to act take a listen. reluctant on the show you made it were even slower moving because of the seventeen sanctions should the secretary stayed on a minute before he got there to try to get answers and he's waiting for the final report obviously he's made many comments not just the ones that some of you consciously want to cherry pick about the tragic and unspeakable murder of mr shogi and

willing to pay blood money to show she's family and his fiance it comes as the director of the cia gina housefull has reportedly seen all the evidence related to his death after she was dispatched to turkey last month meanwhile turkey's president reza earlier one is insisting the killing was ordered by the highest levels of the saudi government has more for us from istanbul more than a month since he was killed just body has yet to be found and there are more questions about his murder but turkish authorities have increased the pressure on the saga government by slowly leaking vital information according to turkish sources cia director general hospital was briefed on the murder and had access to crucial evidence suggesting the order came from the highest levels of the saga government riyadh insists no member of the ruling royal family had a role in his death but during his visit to istanbul last month sunday chief prosecutor said i would. reportedly told turkish authorities that the king was willing to pay blood money to hush up his family and fiance he also said he had no idea about the whereabo

next week they'll they've been giving it ministration a possible out however perhaps even if gina housefull is sent to capitol hill the cia director to brief members of congress to debrief senses when the senate is very angry that apparently she wasn't allowed to brief sentences so some republican senators saying look if you will we accept rail policy just accept the truth as we see is then maybe we won't have that debate at all there's absolutely no indication to the top of ministration is going to take take that possible way out if anything the top administration is continuing to stick to his guns with ever more intensity we've been hearing hearing reports that they're trying to stop the u.n. security council resolution on the cease fire in yemen so as things stand there that momentum is still in place we expect to vote next week on having a debate and then that debate. and then there's a possibility of a vote however it's still symbolic it won't be taken up in the house of representatives but still an amazing moment in u.s. saudi yes so no debate just yet thanks for clarifying that but t

was frustrated too because he didn't answer my question about whether or not the cia director gina housefull who has listened to that audio tape intelligence whether or not the white house is blocking her from being included in a briefing of the full senate that is happening on wednesday he refused to answer that question despite several attempts so you have to sort of go back to the president's statement where he reaffirmed the relationship between the united states and saudi arabia and he did not in that statement except the conclusion of his intelligence agency that the crown prince ordered that killing now we have a little bit of insight perhaps into why the president says the tapes terrible that he hasn't listened to it and now we know from this white house exchange that in fact the national security adviser has also not listened to that audio intelligence it's pretty remarkable specially as the secretary of defense and the secretary of state are preparing to brief senators on the situation in the killing of a show she the fact that since prominent members of the president's national se
