EXCERPT:
JAYAPAL: “But we do have leverage with the Saudis. The Saudis do need us. My friend Ro Khanna is correct that the Saudis depend on us for a lot of support, but in addition, we have tools within Congress in terms of, you know, being able to, for example, repeal sovereign immunity, which the Biden White House made — they didn’t specifically say that, but there was some mention in their press release about being able to use some of the tools that Congress has to, for example, repeal sovereign immunity from antitrust legislation that would allow us to punish oil producers who try to manipulate prices for profit. And so, I think that these are some of the things that we have to look at because it is clear to me that this move was done between MBS and Putin and others who want to affect the U.S. election. I just don’t see how else you can look at this a month before the election.”
