Lawmakers Condemn Trump's Defense of Saudi Arabia
-------------------------------------------------

Trump's defense of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi drew condemnation from
members of Congress. Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine called the

Some Republicans, including Senators Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul, have
joined calls for new sanctions on the Saudi royal family.
