Wednesday on the News Hour...

Editor's note: In the segment on MBS, we reported that Saudi Arabia urged President Donald Trump to impose secondary sanctions on the United Arab Emirates for sending weapons to the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, and designate the RSF a Foreign Terrorist Organization. The Kingdom’s official policy is only to support a foreign terrorist designation, a Saudi official told PBS News after this story aired.

Wednesday on the News Hour, the Justice Department and the U.S. attorney leading the case against former FBI Director James Comey face heightened scrutiny for their handling of the indictment. President Trump fosters public and private investment between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, including a rare earths deal to counter China. Plus, state bans on abortion pills give rise to underground networks.
