Adam Zyglis takes a swipe at President Donald Trump over his support for the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman despite the CIA concluding that the latter had a role in the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

While he defended the crown prince, Trump hit out at Admiral William McRaven (retired), labelling him an “Obama-backer” and a “Clinton fan” after the admiral criticised the president.

The American Supreme Court was also pulled into a political mire this week after the Trump administration asked it to issue an unusually quick ruling on the Pentagon’s policy of restricting military service to transgender people.
