US EditionKhashoggi’s widow and Democrats demand release of call transcript with Trump and Saudi crown prince
Vindman and Khashoggi’s widow call for transparency over a classified 2019 Trump-MBS call, citing potential quid pro quo and public interest amid ongoing Saudi relations scrutiny.
- Calling for transparency, Vindman and Khashoggi asked on Friday for the release of President Donald Trump's 2019 call transcript with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, backed by dozens of House Democrats.
- Eugene Vindman reviewed a classified National Security Council summary of the June 21, 2019 call and said President Donald Trump's recent Oval Office defense of Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, saying he 'knew nothing', prompted him to go public.
- Quid pro quo appears in the summary, Vindman says, and he called the call shocking while declining to disclose classified specifics Friday.
- Facing limited power in the minority, Democrats noted Vindman discussed drafting legislation with Rep. Robert Garcia, while White House communications director Steven Cheung dismissed Vindman as 'a bitter back-bencher who nobody takes seriously'.
- With U.S. intelligence concluding MBS approved Khashoggi's killing, lawmakers say the transcript could reveal promises tied to Trump's family business dealings and recall the July 2019 Zelenskyy call and its released transcript.
