More than two months since Khashoggi’s disappearance, Saudi Arabia is still facing international condemnation over his brutal murder and alleged dismemberment at the hands of a Saudi hit team. The 61-year-old’s body has still not been found and is thought by Turkish investigators to have been dissolved in acid. “We don’t need direct evidence that [the Saudi crown prince] ordered the code red on this thing,” Marco Rubio said. Citing “American officials and a Saudi briefed on their conversations”, the NYT said Kushner and Prince Mohammed have “continued to chat informally”. A resolution condemning Prince Mohammed is also expected to be voted on.
