Rand Paul: “Deep State” Keeping Intel From Congress

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) slammed the Deep State for withholding intel on the killing of the Saudi Journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Paul said that representatives being kept in the dark by intelligence agencies is “the very definition of the Deep State,” in his Tuesday interview on Fox’s America’s Newsroom.

“If we aren’t told about this and I’m not allowed to know about these conclusions, then I can’t have oversight,” he said. “And so then state grows, the intelligence, the Deep State grows and has more and more power.”

Paul went on to claim that he has read in the media that the CIA said “with high confidence” the Saudi crown prince, Mohammad bin Salman, was involved in the killing of Khashoggi, he continued.
