The State Department is so far ignoring calls from Congress to expel Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States to protest the country's role in the death of dissident Jamal Khashoggi.

“We’re not going to get into hypotheticals,” a State Department spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.

That response came after a senior Senate Democrat called for President Trump to expel Prince Khalid bin Salman, the brother of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as a response to Khashoggi's death. The execution, which took place in a Saudi diplomatic facility in Turkey, outraged lawmakers of both parties and intensified bipartisan pressure to rebuke the oil-rich monarchy for a range of humanitarian abuses.

“Unless the Saudi kingdom understands that civilized countries around the world reject this conduct and make sure that a price is paid, the Saudis will continue to do it,” Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said while reiterating his call for Prince Khalid’s expulsion.


The controversy has spurred a bipartisan effort to pass a resolution ending U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, where Iranian-backed rebels overthrew the Saudi-friendly government. But that move is a bridge too far for some Republicans who want to maintain the U.S.-Saudi partnership against Iran.
