Jamal Khashoggi murder pits US Congress against President Trump

While Trump has used his presidential veto to block Congress from taking action against MBS, as he is popularly known, US arms sales to Riyadh, the war in Yemen and alleged Saudi involvement in 9/11 continue to rankle some from his own party.
