<THREAD> Congress should launch a full investigation into decades of Saudi arms deals after new revelations made by @shoffenberg on the @NarativLive podcast about #JeffreyEpstein& #39;s role in a global arms trading network which supplied weapons to the Saudis for decades.
2. It& #39;s worth noting that #Epstein& #39;s associate in these arms deals was Donald Trump& #39;s & #39;80s friend Adnan Khashoggi. Epstein worked for British arms trader Sir Douglas Leese at the time while maintaining ties to Israeli military Intelligence. Here& #39;s how a typical scheme worked.
3. Trump& #39;s $110 Bn arms deal with the Saudis has been shrouded by controversy. Despite a congressional ban on humanitarian grounds, Secretary of State Pompeo defied congress and let the sales proceed. He then fired the IG investigating him. https://www.defensenews.com/congress/2020/05/18/fired-state-department-ig-probed-trumps-saudi-arms-deals/">https://www.defensenews.com/congress/...
4. The Saudi deal was put together by Jared Kushner which in itself deserves scrutiny because of Jared& #39;s long-running "in my pocket" friendship with Saudi Crown Prince MBS which gives off the whiff of conflicting interests. @Narativlive
5. Kushner, Pompeo and Trump should be under congressional investigation, and Epstein& #39;s past Saudi deals must be scrutinized for any ties or parallels to the more recent sales. https://narativ.org/2020/06/14/merchant-of-death/">https://narativ.org/2020/06/1... @NarativLive
6. Epstein and Trump were great friends for at least 15 years. @NarativLive
