jamal is one of many. but if his murder is not held accountable, then who is safe and what other freedoms will be compromised? he's a symbol and a martyr, but let's hold somebody accountable for this murder. >> i want to get back to you on the issue of isis and terrorists and insurgence. the administration seems to kind of say it both ways. one, that we defeated isis, but the pentagon said yes, it's on the back foot and routed from raqqa and mosul, but it's still there. what do you know about the presence of isis still and i want to play something that the secretary said about that fight. >> you know, the areas of isis control diminished, but isis as a threat still exists. two or three years ago before the syrian war, what became isis, al qaeda and iraq were just jihadis in the western deserts of iraq. but they were able to survive and they were able to create isis later on. the threat of extremism and jihadi extremism is all over the middle east. we see it from yemen, somalia, iraq and syria. this battle

cover up one of the biggest murders in this past year the murder of jamal khashoggi. in any other place in civilized world when someone is kilts. the killer is held accountable and so far this white house has responded by providing excuses and providing cover up for the murders of jamal khashoggi. the united states recently announced that their withheld with holding weapons sales to cameroon because of their human rights violations they need to do the same thing in the case of saudi arabia until the killers of jamal khashoggi are brought to justice. there's a saying that says justice delayed is justice denied. the friends of jamal khashoggi the family deserves justice and justice has not been provided in this case. one of the founding principles of this nation is the freedom of the press this white house has constantly attacked the press has demonized the press and now even when the press is killed by one of our allies they're providing excuses and justification. it's time that the white house and the trumpet ministration stops providing cover for the killers of jamal

no announcement no sanction nothing that is imposed will bring jamal back jamal was slaughtered but in a way it's important in terms of relief even a little bit for those who loved and supported him those who committed this magic get punished and for those responsible to be trite this is what we request she also highlights that perhaps this congress could perhaps take more accountability as to what happened to her fiance but really the bigger picture is that she still really stressed that she wanted to be able to find the body to be able to bury him and to be able to allow his loved ones to have a place to pray for him i think it highlights again for months on the with all the political back and forth of this loaded story is that there was still no answer as to who ordered the killing even though the u.n. has been pretty clear that this was or that the highest levels of the saudi government and of course his body the body of mr zuma has still not been found is what's ahead for your knowledge is zero will the world's richest man is accusing us tabloids of blackmail. hello there we've go

following the murder of jamal khashoggi the senate sent a letter to president trump invoking the global magnitsky act which gave president trump one hundred twenty days to investigate the murder and impose sanctions against those responsible in a follow up letter to the senate asa president to specifically investigate any role the crown prince mohammed bin salman or m.b.a.'s may have played in the murder in b.s. the crown prince is a wrecking ball. and he's complicit in the murder mystery shogi think he's crazy to . think he is dangerous and he has put their relationship at risk but president trump has steadfastly insisted the us saw the relationship is more important than establishing accountability for murder it's all about america first we're not going to give up hundreds of billions of dollars in orders and let russia china and everybody else have a it's all about for me very simple it's america first saudi arabia's senior diplomat continues to deny any involvement by the kingdom's leaders in the murder refusing to react to a new york times report that the crown prince is on record

did mbs kill jamal khashoggi and if so what are you going to do about it? you have to answer. this is my opinion as a member of congress of the executive branch defying the law. they would rather defy the law and defend saudi arabia in this case and that's a matter of grave concern. they have to figure out what we can do about it whether we have mechanisms to challenge but we think most of us in the hill is a serious misinterpretation of the global magnitsky act. second, we have to now decide what we can do as a congress about the khashoggi case going forward. again, the magnitsky act creates authority for sanctions. we could if we chose pass legislation that and they sanctions for anybody responsible for the death of jamal khashoggi. this would be the next logical step and it is something that i hope congress will do. there is support for such legislation in the senate. we've seen senator menendez, senator young and others introduced legislation along those lines so it has bipartisan support in the senate. i believe that there would be significant support in the house of repr
