Vindman, Jamal Khashoggi's Widow Call on Trump to Release Transcript of Call with Saudi Crown Prince

Published | Video Starts at 02:07

We will continue pressing for the release of the transcript so the American people understand the truth. Our intelligence agencies concluded that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the murder of Ms. Khashoggi's husband. When a president sidelines his own intelligence community to shield a foreign leader, America's credibility is at stake. Kashogi family and the public deserve to hear the truth. We need straight answers about this conversation. We need the transcript. Once again, I'm calling on the President to release the transcript of this call. (02:07–02:14)

CLAIM

Asserts that America's credibility is at stake when a president ignores intelligence to protect a foreign leader.
