I changed my mind because I'm pissed. The way the administration has handled the Saudi Arabia event is just not acceptable. I said, listen, it's pretty obvious to me that we're a co-equal branch. You made your assessments about what the intelligence shows. I'd like to make my own. The only way I can make that assessment is to be briefed. If it is credible that the crown prince was complicit, then I will take action consistent with that.
