On CNN Friday morning, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, without citing evidence or sources, suggested that President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner may have played a role in the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“Let me get to the point that I think is most disturbing right now,” Castro said to CNN reporter Poppy Harlow in Friday’s interview. “The reporting that Jared Kushner may have with U.S. intelligence delivered a hit list — an enemies list — to the crown prince, to [Mohammed bin Salman], in Saudi Arabia and that the prince then may have acted on that, and one of the people that he took action against is Mr. Khashoggi.”

Bernie Sanders tweet:
By attacking the media and condoning violent behavior toward journalists, Trump is giving a green light to authoritarians all over the world to endanger the lives of those who work for a free press.

I also saw an interview with Elizabeth Warren where she claimed President Trump was somehow involved with this cover-up. I want to know where Julian Castro's sources are coming from because those are some bold accusations.
