Senate edges closer to rebuking Trump on Saudi Arabia

Senators are closing in on a deal to defy President Trump on Saudi Arabia, as support grows for tougher action over the killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The emerging agreement would lead to a vote next week on a bipartisan resolution that would require Trump to withdraw troops in or “affecting” Yemen within 30 days, unless they are fighting al Qaeda.

Lawmakers involved in the negotiations say that because the Yemen resolution is being brought to the floor under the War Powers Act, with only a simple majority needed for passage, it’s all but guaranteed to be approved.

“I won’t support it, but it will pass,” said Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.).

I'll believe it when I see it. Cocaine Mitch will probably put a stop to it all.
