Back<\/span><\/p>\n transcript<\/p>\n \u201cGiven President Trump\u2019s disturbing and counterfactual defense of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, this week, I felt compelled to speak up on behalf of the Khashoggi family and the country that I serve. This is why I took to the House floor to bring to light a call I reviewed during my tenure on Trump\u2019s White House national security staff. The call between Mr. Trump and Mohammed bin Salman after the brutal murder of Washington Post journalist and a Virginia resident, Jamal Khashoggi. If the past is any indication, the receipts will raise serious questions, and they will be shocking.\u201d \u201cAs far as this gentleman is concerned, he\u2019s done a phenomenal job. You\u2019re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn\u2019t like that gentleman that you\u2019re talking about, whether you like him or didn\u2019t like him, things happen, but he knew nothing about it and we can leave it at that.\u201d \u201cOur intelligence agencies concluded that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the murder of Mrs. Khashoggi\u2019s husband. When a president sidelines his own intelligence community to shield a foreign leader, America\u2019s credibility is at stake. The Khashoggi family and the public deserve to hear the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n Representative Eugene Vindman, Democrat of Virginia, called for the declassification of a 2019 conversation between Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia which took place shortly after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.<\/span><\/p>\n By Meg Felling<\/p>\n November 21, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" new video loaded: Lawmaker Says Trump\u2019s Call With Saudi Leader Was \u2018Shocking\u2019 transcript Back transcript Lawmaker Says Trump\u2019s Call With Saudi Leader Was \u2018Shocking\u2019 Representative Eugene Vindman, Democrat of Virginia, called for the declassification of a 2019 conversation between Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia which took place shortly after the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34708,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[634,9310,135,11191,6694,71],"class_list":{"0":"post-34707","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-crime-justice","8":"tag-call","9":"tag-lawmaker","10":"tag-leader","11":"tag-saudi","12":"tag-shocking","13":"tag-trumps"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/34708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Lawmaker Says Trump\u2019s Call With Saudi Leader Was \u2018Shocking\u2019<\/h2>\n
