"Vindman said he reviewed the classified transcript as a member of the National Security Council during Trump's first term and found that it would shock people if they knew what was said. U.S. intelligence concluded that MBS had Khashoggi killed and dismembered in 2018 for criticizing Saudi human rights abuses. Vindman did not disclose the subject matter discussed between the two leaders on the call."
"Trump hosted MBS at the White House this week when an ABC News reporter asked about Khashoggi's murder. You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial, Trump said of Khashoggi. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen, but he knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guests by asking a question like that."
Hanan Eltr Khashoggi and Representatives Jamie Raskin and Eugene Vindman called for public release of the 2019 phone call read-out between President Trump and Mohammed bin Salman. Vindman said he reviewed the classified transcript as an NSC member and warned the contents would shock people, but he did not disclose the call's subject matter. U.S. intelligence concluded MBS ordered Jamal Khashoggi's 2018 killing and dismemberment after Khashoggi criticized Saudi human rights abuses. President Trump described Khashoggi as controversial; Hanan Eltr Khashoggi strongly disputed that characterization and defended her husband.
