Lawmakers push for release of intel on Khashoggi murder

Washington — Lawmakers are pressuring the U.S. intelligence community to publicly identify the individuals it has assessed were involved in the 2018 murder of Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, calling on the Director of National Intelligence to declassify parts of a recent document they say would inform the public without compromising intelligence sources and methods.

A law passed in December mandated that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) submit to Congress a report on Khashoggi's death that included "a list of foreign persons that the Director of National Intelligence has high confidence ... were responsible for, or complicit in ... an act or acts contributing to or causing the death of Kamal Khashoggi."

The report "shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex," one key section of the law reads.

In late February, ODNI wrote to several House and Senate congressional committees to say neither a public list nor other assessment would be forthcoming.

Trump has installed loyalist lackeys who are happy to even have a job at the top of intelligence and every other government department, and Trump has already set the precedent that he can openly obstruct, stall, not comply with court orders and fire anyone who dares to grow a conscious without any negative repercussions whatsoever
