Statement on Saudi Arabia Investigation:
After The Daily Beast published this story, Castro said in a statement that he “did not intend to accuse Jared Kushner of orchestrating the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.”
Castro clarified that he wants Congress to investigate whether Kushner “or any other administration official shared any U.S. intelligence with the Saudis that led to any political persecution, including the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.”
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called Castro’s comments an “outrageous slanderous lie without a shred of proof” on Twitter.
Statement on Saudi Arabia Investigation:
Castro didn’t intend to accuse Jared Kuschner. Castro did it, but didn’t “intend” to do it. Lucky for Castro, he’s a Dem so he won’t be challenged on his false accusation. He just wants an investigation to see if ANY Republican did anything that he can be attacked politically for. Sounds like calling for a special prosecutor. Disgusting Dems.
