| Description | Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, says that the Trump administration has "clamped down" on intelligence regarding the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. He told the Washington Post that an intelligence briefing scheduled for Tuesday had been canceled and for the time being, there would be no more intelligence shared with the Senate.
Capitol Hill staffers confirmed to CBS News that a larger planned briefing had been cancelled, but they said that the White House is still briefing individual lawmakers and staffers on developments in Khashoggi's case. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, received a briefing on the case Wednesday. |
