A former White House national security lawyer says the American public deserves to hear the full content of a 2019 telephone call between US President Donald Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the demand has sharpened into a political crisis for the administration.
President Trump hosted the crown prince at the White House this week and publicly defended him against US intelligence findings about the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Republicans and Democrats are now trading accusations, and lawyers are quietly weighing whether any withheld records could be germane to oversight or legal inquiry.
