Idaho Republican Sen. James Risch, the new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, decided last week to hold a classified briefing from administration officials on the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Risch, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, had hoped the briefing would temper bipartisan criticism of Trump's response to the murder -- particularly among Republicans angry over his reluctance to hold Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman directly responsible. But it seems to have had the opposite effect.The March 5 briefing was, by all accounts, a disaster.
"That's again not a good way to do business. You need to be forthcoming and dealing in good faith. If you do that, you really don't need to worry about pressure." The anti-CorkerWhile sources close to Risch insist he is patiently navigating a complex situation, critics say he has struggled to balance his natural inclination to protect the President with his oversight responsibilities as chairman.
