Senators want research into Bin Salman

The leaders of the Republicans and Democrats in the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee urge President Donald Trump's government to investigate whether the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The senators say this after the news that Trump, although he does not approve the killing of Khashoggi, intends to remain a 'steadfast' ally of Riyadh. The president does not exclude that the powerful Saudi Crown Prince had knowledge of the murder of the journalist.
