SAUDI ARABIA & THE DISAPPEARANCE OF JOURNALIST JAMAL KHASHOGGI
I'm very curious to find out what CIA Director Gina Haspel learned in Turkey this week.

CIA Director Gina Haspel has reportedly listened to an audio recording purporting to capture Jamal Khashoggi being interrogated and murdered by Saudi officials.

Haspel was played the recording by Turkish investigators after being sent to Istanbul to review evidence around the journalist's killing.

Haspel is now due to brief President Trump on the evidence as the President mulls how to punish Saudi Arabia - one of America's closest allies.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has announced that 21 Saudi officials will have their visas revoked in response to the scandal, though tougher sanctions are expected. 

Congress has triggered a probe that could result in human rights-related sanctions.
