Trump’s comments about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi were shameful & disgusting.
But unsurprising considering the Trump family is making tens of millions from deals with the Saudi government.
Congress must investigate this glaring conflict of interest immediately.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.
