during avril haines' confirmation hearing, the woman who's now director of national intelligence, avril haines, promised that, if she were confirmed as dni, she would release to the public a declassified version of the intelligence community's findings on who murdered an american journalist named jamal khashoggi, who wrote for the "washington post." khashoggi was a vocal critic of the government of saudi arabia. in october 2018, october 2nd, he was lured to a saudi consulate in turkey. turns out, a hit squad was waiting for him there. he was killed and then reportedly dismembered. his body has never been found. a u.n. human rights investigation in 2019 found that the crown prince of saudi arabia was involved in that murder, that it was, quote, inconceivable that he, at the very least, didn't know about that murder plot. since then, the evidence has only gotten stronger that the crown prince of saudi arabia, in fact, ordered the murder. the cia reportedly concluded with high confidence that the crown prince of saudi arabia ordered the murder of mr. khashoggi. here's the thing, only the b

avril haines. one of the things she agreed to is about to happen tomorrow. during that the woman now director promised if she were confirmed she would release a declassified version of the findings on who murdered jamal khashoggi. he was a vocal critic of the government of saudi arabia of 2018. he was killed then reportedly dismembered. his body has never been found. is it found the crown prince was involved and it was incon cease efable that he didn't know about that murder plot. since then the evidence has only gotten stronger that the crown prince ordered the murder. the cia reportedly concluded with high confidence that the crown prince of saudi arabia ordered the murder of mr. khashoggi. here's the thing, only the best people in the trump administration, right? jamal khashoggi was murdered, as i said, 2018, october, specifically october 2nd, 2018. the crown prince of saudi arabia, mohammed bin salman, he goes by mbs, he's immediately implicated in that murder. nevertheless, three weeks after the murder still in october 2018, mbs on behalf of the saudi g

law that was flouted by the trump administration that biden's director of national intelligence avril hainesill release multiple sources, are telling me that this report to come as soon as tomorrow. the intelligence community is required to show evidence that links current and former saudi officials who have advanced knowledge and the roles in this murder of jamal khashoggi. now, the intelligence community has never said anything publicly about this murder. we have reported that the cia determined with high confidence that mbs ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi. the united nations has said that it was inconceivable that an assassination plot of this sophistication could be done without the knowledge of mbs. so the big question is what does the intelligence community say about the culpability of mbs in the murder of jamal khashoggi, and is there a smoking gun? >> and the next question being after we learn all of this, what does that mean for u.s. and the relationship between the two countries. alex marquardt, really appreciate your reporting. thank you. to our viewers you can read his ful

we'll hear from avril haines, the director of national intelligence, who testified at her confirmationeased, contrary to the fact that donald trump persisted in defending mbs, in fact, praising him at the g-20 in 2019 when he had been shunned by other world leaders, and he then was welcomed back into the world community. >> well, of course as you mentioned, congress requires the administration, then the trump administration, to come to a finding as to who is responsible and a report to congress. the trump administration ignored that law. so what joe biden is doing is complying with statutes that bind him to make this report to congress. let me be clear, andrea, i'm not calling for the united states to break-away from our relationship with d saudis. there are important elements to our partnership. we have an important counterterrorism partnership. we need to work with the saudis to wind down the war in yemen. bahrain has been important in achieve detente in the nations. there's all sorts of reasons to still have a relationship with the saudis. it's just that, you know, we need domestic

>> well, as you know the director of national intelligence, avril haines, has agreed to release a publicort on that, that's forthcoming in the days ahead. and at some point in time, the president will talk to the king of saudi arabia, but i'll let that call take place and then we'll read out the call after it takes place. >> thank you very much. and let's talk about, come back to domestic policy. we have seen what republicans have prioritized, even in the hearings where we're talking about the january 6th insurrection. their focus is to try to essentially affirm what the insurrectionists wanted, which is that they don't like the fact that predominantly nonwhite communities made a decision to vote for president biden. don't like the fact that held. republicans all over the country are pushing laws that will make it harder for black and brown folks, for indigenous folks, for young people to vote. how high is hr 1 on the priority list? that's the vehicle through which we could see reinforcement for the voting rights act. how high is that on the priority list? you have immigration you're dea

the office of the new director of national intelligence, avril haines, we expected by now, to have released a declassified version of a u.s. intelligence report on the murder of "washington post" journalist jamal khashoggi. khashoggi was murdered at a saudi consulate in october 2018. he was reportedly dismembered. his body has never been found. in 2018, multiple news outlets, including nbc news, reported that when the cia investigated that murder, they concluded with high confidence that that murder of that u.s. journalist was ordered by the crown prince of saudi arabia. now, our relationship with saudi arabia is toxic and knotted and deeply, ethically screwed up, even at the best of times. but the prospect of the crown prince of that country, right, the guy who's on the on-ramp to be king, the prospect that the crown prince of that country getting elevated to king, since that's next in line after you are crown prince, the prospect of him serving as king of saudi arabia, potentially for decades, after he orchestrated the murder and dismembership of a u.s. journalist, and we know he did it,

avril haines said she would be providing congress with a declassified report on who was responsible for the death of journalist jamal khashoggi. when can we expect to see that and does president biden plan to convict for the murder of jamal khashoggi? >> we would certainly never work to expedite or change the timeline that works best for them, and as jake noted, there is a range of our national security policies, certainly including, in terms of our relationship with saudi arabia, but i don't have anything to preview for you at this time. go ahead, pieeter. >> reporter: when it comes to covid relief, you said the president wants to help americans who need help. how do you determine who needs help and who doesn't? where do you draw that line? >> again, peter, i think what we're hoping to do through the package is provide assistance to americans who are struggling to make ends meet at this moment in time. and you're right, there is a large swath of americans who are struggling through this moment in time because they fear about their health, the health of their grandparents, their cousins

avril haines said she would support information on who was responsible for the death of the foreign journalist. >> as you noted, that review would come out of the intelligence community and would be released on the time line of when it's completed. we would never take a step to expe diet or change the time line that works best for them. and then as jake also noted, there's an ongoing review of a range of our foreign policy -- our national security policies, certainly including and in terms of our relationship with saudi arabia. but i don't have anything to preview for you at this point in time. go ahead, peter. >> as it relates to covid relief, you said the president wants to take care of the people who need the help the most. a lot of americans say they need help. how do you determine who needs help and who doesn't? where do you draw that line? >> well, again, peter, i think what we're hoping to do through the package is provide assistance to americans who are struggling to make ends meet at this moment in time. you're right, there's a lrnl swath of americans who are struggling through this m

will work closely with the director of national intelligence my long-time friend and colleague avril haines to make sure the agency's efforts fit seamlessly for the intelligence community. america's partnerships and alliances are what set our country apart from lonelier major powers like china and russia. for cia, intelligence partnerships are an increasingly important means of amplifying our understanding and influence. investing in those liaison relationships has never been more important. it's a task for which my whole career has prepared me. no partnership will be more important to me than the one i hope to build with all of you on this committee. in my conversations with each of you over the last few weeks, i have been struck by your commitment to bipartisanship and sense of shared purpose. i deeply respect your crucial oversight role, which allows the american people to have confidence that the agency is working faithfully on their behalf and living up to our values. if confirmed, i promise to do all i can to earn your trust and to be a strong partner. i'll seek your advice, as well a
