Sorry your dad got murdered and cut up into little pieces. Heres a Million Dollar mansion and some money. Thats apparently the deal jamal khaishoggis kids are getting from saudi arabia to stay quiet after a Saudi Hit Team assassinated the Washington Post columnist six months ago today. The post reports khaishoggis children have been receiving what it calls blood money in the form of Luxury Properties and Monthly Payments of at least 10,000. According to the Washington Post, khaishoggis two sons and two daughters may also receive much larger payments, possibly tens of millions of dollars apiece aimed in part at ensuring they continue to show restraint in their public statements about the killing of their father by saudi operatives. Khaishoggi was an outspoken critic of the saudi royal family but a big supporter of the kingdom as a hole. Six months ago today, heav vanished in turkey. At first the saudis claimed they had no idea what happened to khaishoggi. But the gory murder mystery quickly unravelled. Investigators say a Saudi Hit Team killed khaishoggi inside that consulate and cut him up with a bone saw. Theres said to be sawed yes with the saw wielder telling people to put on head phones with music. Khaishoggis body has never been found. There was outrage on capitol hill and all around the world and accusations that the crown prince himself Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the hit. U. S. Intelligence agreed. Here he is on the right shaking hands with khaishoggis son after his fathers brutal murder. The United States sanctioned 17 saudi individuals, all low level. Nothing against Mohammed Bin Salman. The daytoday ruler of the kingdom whose u. S. Intelligence believes directed the operation that led to the brutal murder. Trey yingst reporting live. Trey . While the Trump Administration did sanction a handful of saudi individuals and officials, high level relations between the United States and saudi rain do continue. Amid the new reports that the saudi government is compensating the four children of murder journalist jamal khaishoggi, the United States is doing very little to ensure the kingdom is taking similar actions in the future. A month ago, President Trumps adviser Jared Kushner met with Mohammed Bin Salman, the man that cia says likely ordered the murder. They discovered a peace plan for the middle east but no indication that khaishoggis murder was addressed at all. An oped this week, fred ryan, a chief executive at the Washington Post called the response from the Trump Administration impotent and added that it was illegal and the response from the president himself gave the United States a bad view on the world stage saying the credibility and moral authorities of the United States was undermined. Shep . Shepard how has this killing affected the kingdoms ability to do business around the world . A number of countries have responses to this murder. Canada sanctioned members of the Saudi Arabian regime and kingdom. But when you look at the other responses, you can see countries like germany. They tried to cut off arm sales with the kingdom of saudi arabia. When it comes to the war in yemen, the Trump Administration is supporting saudi arabia in its military efforts. The u. S. Passed a resolution to end the saudi war. But the bottom line is that the murder of jamal khaishoggi has fallen from international headlines. With this new information the kingdom is paying the four children of the murdered journalist, this is continued to continue without answers of what happened. Shepard thanks, trey. Lets go to john altman. Hes the director of the middle east program at temperature center for middle east studies. Good afternoon. Good to see you, shep. Shepard where are we now . What should happen now . I think this is just a process thats been going on. I first saw reports of this in early november that the saudis were in financial discussions with the children. I think those discussions are ongoing. The saudis are hoping this blows over and that they can resume what they see is a historic strategic relationship with the United States that has had blips, 911 and the Arab Oil Embargo in 73 and theyre waiting to endure this. It is quite something that 911 and 18 hijackers would be considered a blip in our relationship. A man whom our Intelligence Agency says was cut to bits on the order of a man that ruled the kingdom from day to day who has children and a resident of the United States, that is but a blip. Theres been nothing against him leaves many in this country asking what is this relationship . And i certainly conveyed a lot of the seriousness speaking to senior saudi officials. The argument of 911 is that it wasnt a big deal but their argument is that the saudi government wasnt involved and shouldnt be blamed for it. They say the same thing about this. The line from senior saudis is this is a crime and were exploring, investigating the crime and will punish the people responsible for the crime. When i speak to senior people in the u. S. Government, they say if this is a crime that casts such a dark shadow on the crown prince and it wasnt authorized by him, then why dont we see a whole bunch of people getting drawn in and criticized and fired because this has really harmed the crown prince and the kingd kingdom. If this is a rogue operation, we should see the ripples and weve seen none of it. The crown prince was directly involved. Our intelligence agencies among them. Exactly. Can the United States maintain a moral high ground while looking the other way when our Intelligence Services say this is what happens and our government reacts nobody chalantly . We have attention that i think has been present throughout the Trump Administration, attention between the Intelligence Services and the white house. This is an element in that. Its not all of it. Im not sure how much it exacerbates it. But theres certainly a split with the white house and the Intelligence Services. The real issue is do we have a relationship between the United States and the congress dom of saudi arabia or do we have a relationship between the president of the United States and the current prince of saudi arabia. If the crown prince does something, does that reflect on the whole kingdom or just reflect on the personal relationship. The argument ive made to saudis, the crown prince has personalized this relationship so much, he made himself the smiling face of a new saudi arabia that the choice that americans have, either we walk away from the kingdom of saudi arabia or overlook a crime that implicates the crown prince. I dont think a lot of people are willing to overlook the crime but the question is where does that leave our saudi relationship as long as the crown prince is the image, the embodiment of the kingdom . I think the crown prince has to take a lower profile role. The bilateral relationship will endure. I dont think that close personal relationship can endure. Shepard without some pressure, you wonder. John alterman, good to see you. Thanks, shep. Shepard the breaking news now. President trump is threatening to close the border at mexico if he has to. The president says that will depend on whether mexico continues to take steps to stop migrants from entering the United States illegally. Sarah sanders said closing the border is not the administrations first choice and moments ago President Trump said he would like to come up with a deal in congress before taking that step. Mexico is now stopping people coming, very easy for them to stop people coming in. Lets see if they keep it done. If they keep doing that. Now, if they dont or if we dont make a deal with congress, the border will be closed. 100 . President trump threatening to cut aid to three Central American countries saying that they have not done enough to keep migrants from heading towards the United States. Today the House Speaker nancy pelosi called that one of the president s worst ideas. This is not a good idea. In other words, if the fact is that we want to keep people at home, the point is to have the resources that make that more feasible. So i dont know who is advising him there. Advising is even a word. I dont know who is poisoning his mind on some of these subjects. Shepard really depends on what your ultimate goal is. What is the ultimate goal . The chief White House Correspondent john roberts is reporting live on the north lawn. Hi, john. As we reported to you yesterday, mexico is beginning to take new steps the stop migrants from Central America heading up to the United States and turning them back. President trump tweeted out that that was a positive sign. As you pointed out just a moment ago, he said he needs to see more of that in order to keep the border open. The president was also asked if he knew that there would be a pretty serious Economic Impact to closing the border. He acknowledged that yes, he does. Listen here. Well have security in this country. Thats more important than trade. Hey, all you hear me talking about is trade. But let me give you a little secret. Security is more important to me than trade. So were going to have a Strong Border or well have a closed border. The department of Homeland Security said in a Conference Call this morning that the system is on fire. Theyre facing a system wide meltdown. Earlier today, the press secretary Sarah Sanders said even though theyre starting to see some movement from mexico, things dont get better soon, they may have to close down the border. Listen here. Eventually it may be that its the best decision that we close the border. Even obamas own secretary of department of Homeland Security from the obama administration, jeh johnson said this is a crisis. People are starting to understand exactly what the president has said was going to happen all along. In fact, the department of Homeland Security today said that already shifting customs and Border Protection personnel from ports of entry to areas where the Border Patrol operates between the ports of entry has had an effect. The brownsville Border Crossing had a threehour wait to come in from the mexican side. That is double the normal amount of time. And in san diego, there was a 150 trucks backed up waiting to get in. Dhs Officials Say closing the border may be just the sort of pressure that both mexico and Congress Need to get something done on immigration. However, democrats are saying closing the border would really be a terrible idea. Listen to senate o senator hora. Its a terrible idea. Its what the cost would be that if he closes the border that is the Third Largest trade partner, trade country. So its pretty crazy. I was in the oval office with the president as we asked him those questions. I got the since that closing the border is not imminent but something that hes keeping in his back pocket. Shepard 11 day ago today, the Mueller Report was delivered to the attorney general barr. In those 11 days, congress hasnt seen it, americans havent seen it. The president mentioned it today. He did the reason why is because the House Judiciary Committee will be voting to authorize subpoenas to demand to see the entire unredacted version of the Mueller Report and the underlying materials. President trump not too happy about democrats trying to do that. Listen here. I think its ridiculous. We went through two years of the mueller investigation. We have i mean, not only that, you read the words. Who could go through that and get wording where there was no collusion, no nothing. So theres no collusion. The attorney general now rules no obstruction. They said no obstruction. And so theres no collusion, theres no obstruction. Now were going to start this process all over again . Its a disgrace. President trump pointed out the tweet this morning the House Judiciary CommitteeGerald Nadler in 1998 was opposed to the release of the starr report which was eventually released in its entirety. Democrats are saying that precedent to release the Mueller Report and james comey talked about the bad things that Hillary Clinton did without charging her is precedent that we should learn everything that mueller knew. However, i remember when comey did that back in 2016, democrats hit the roof. Shep . Shepard yeah. Thank you, john. The president said theres calls to start the whole process over again. Thats not it. The call now is for the American People to see what they paid for. Wish the president once said he was all good about. Youre headed down the highway when the guy in front slams on his brakes out of nowhere. You do, too, but not in time. Hey, no big deal. Youve got a good record and Liberty Mutual wont hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. You hear that, karen . Liberty mutual doesnt hold grudges. How mature of them for drivers with accident forgiveness, Liberty Mutual wont raise their rates because their first accident. Liberty mutual insurance. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

Boost® high protein nutritional drink has 20 grams of protein, along with 26 essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. All with guaranteed great taste. The upside im just getting started. Boost® high protein be up for life. Shepard so in the last hour, the House Oversight committee had a vote. It voted to subpoena a former white house official that handled security clearances. You probably heard about this. This is after a whistleblower who works in the white house and has for years and years and years came to congress and warned the congress that dozens of Trump Administration officials received security clearances even after disqualifying factors in their background, including concerns about foreign influence, drug use and other criminal behavior. Now, the chairman of this committee, called the House Oversight committee, a democrat named Elijah Cummings, he wants to no who has been given access to the nations secrets and how they got that access. Came forward because a system at the white house is so dysfunctional that she believes that Congress Needs to intervene. In other words, shes crying out. Shes begging us to do something. Shepard so they will. At the same time, republicans are accusing democrats of politicizing the security clearance issue. Lets get to mike emanuel on the hill. Sounds like what Elijah Cummings wants to know what happens to the person that did it. This afternoon you had Maryland Democrats praising the white house whistleblower for her courage. All she gets is a chain of people telling her to go back to her desk. To be quiet. So she comes to our committee. This woman is an American Hero for what shes doing. Shes standing up for the American People and she says this is her final hope to come to the Oversight Committee. A high profile freshman democrat said the committee must get to the bottom of this issue. Every day that we go on without getting to the bottom of this matter is a day that were putting hundreds if not potentially thousands of americans at risk. I mean, really, what is next . Putting Nuclear Codes in instagram . On the other side, the White House Press secretary say the democrats are trying to exploit the issue and call it shameful. Lets not forget three million americans have security clearances that worked for the government and by exploiting one youre exploiting all of their personal information. I think democrats know that. I think what theyre doing
