WaPo: Congress must punish Saudi Prince because Trump is protecting him

The Washington Post has a new editorial calling on Congress to pass legislation to sanction Mohammed bin Salman, because Trump is helping the latter get away with murder (literally).

Mr. Corker is giving Mr. Trump a chance to tell the truth about Mohammed bin Salman and adjust his policies accordingly, a correction that is essential to a rational and workable U.S. strategy in the Middle East. If the White House instead continues to abet the crown prince in his lies, Congress must act — swiftly and decisively.
