Vindman says, "The American people and the Khashoggi family deserve to know what was said on that call."

After the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, I reviewed a call between the president and the Saudi crown prince. The American people and the Khashoggi family deserve to know what was said on that call. If history is any guide, the receipts will be shocking.?

But according to veteran reporter Bob Woodward, Trump once bragged about protecting Salman from congressional scrutiny after the killing, which Trump’s own CIA pinned on the crown prince.

“I saved his a--,” Trump is quoted as saying in Woodward’s book, Rage. “I was able to get Congress to leave him alone. I was able to get them to stop.”

But speaking on CNN on Wednesday morning ahead of Trump and the crown prince attending a Saudi investment forum, Vindman said the call he reviewed was equally disturbing and shocking “in light of the enrichment that the Trump family has received in the ensuing years.”

1. Vindman demands release of Trump-Mohammed bin Salman call after Khashoggi murder: 'You will be shocked'

Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-Va.), who served on the National Security Council (NSC) in the first Trump administration, called on President Trump to release the transcript of a “shocking” phone call that took place with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the aftermath of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination.

Vindman — who played a key role in exposing details of Trump’s infamous call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2019 — said a second phone call exists with the Saudi crown prince that rivals the first as “the most problematic.”

In an interview on “CNN News Central” Wednesday, Vindman said Trump’s phone call with the de facto Saudi leader “was about the murder of an American resident — a Virginia resident — and a Washington Post reporter.”

"Given the president’s disturbing and counterfactual defense of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman today, I feel compelled to speak up on behalf of Mr. Khashoggi and his family and the American people,” Vindman said.
