They can undergo their own investigation, but the U.S. administration must make its own independent, credible determination of responsibility for Khashoggi’s murder under the Global Magnitsky investigation as required by law.

The story the Saudis have told about Jamal Khashoggi’s disappearance continues to change with each passing day, so we should not assume their latest story holds water.

Sad to hear of the passing of Lacy Upchurch. A lifelong farmer, he understood the importance of Tennessee’s agriculture community and represented the @TNFarmBureau for a decade with dedication and commitment. My thoughts are with his wife, Kay, and his family.

In light of the circumstances, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin did the right thing in not going to the Saudi investment summit.https://twitter.com/stevenmnuchin1/status/1052944784355205120 …

.@senatornorris has long been a devoted public servant in Tennessee, and I am pleased he will continue to serve our state as a federal district court judge. I congratulate him on his confirmation. My statement: https://bit.ly/2CCUKOv .

Honored to have recommended Eli Richardson for the position of U.S. District Court Judge for the Middle District of Tennessee. Glad his confirmation will help alleviate the high caseload. My statement: https://bit.ly/2RH05IZ .

Pleased @POTUS signed the #MusicModernizationAct into law. I thank @SenAlexander and @senorrinhatch for their leadership on this issue and have been proud to work with them to make this a reality.

I know @nikkihaley will continue to be a strong voice for our country and wish her well in whatever comes next.

.@nikkihaley has been a fierce advocate for U.S. interests during her time as U.N. ambassador. While I hated to hear of her departure, I have enjoyed working with her and am thankful for her willingness to serve.

Today in Venezuela, Fernando Albán, a young opposition leader, died while in the government’s custody. This is disturbing and the government has a responsibility to ensure all understand how that could have happened.

Our thoughts are with #JamalKhashoggi’s family and colleagues at the @washingtonpost. I have raised Jamal's disappearance personally with the Saudi ambassador, and while we await more information, know we will respond accordingly to any state that targets journalists abroad.

Glad the #BUILDAct has been signed into law. This effort will begin to move us away from providing direct assistance with mixed results and instead help countries become more self-reliant.https://twitter.com/OPIC_EABurrier/status/1048313337912680453 …

Transferring the countless injustices that have happened to women for decades onto a person who had nothing to do with them is an injustice, just as seeking to elevate one’s own political stature by wrongly destroying someone else’s reputation is an injustice.

The supplemental background investigation found absolutely zero corroboration of the allegations that have been made. I plan to vote for Judge Kavanaugh and believe he will be confirmed very soon.

Thanks to strong support from the administration, in both houses of Congress, and among businesses and nongovernmental organizations, this transformative effort is now on its way to the president’s desk.

The #BUILDAct will begin to move us away from providing direct assistance with mixed results and instead help countries become more self-reliant while saving taxpayers millions of dollars.
