CBSN
During the presidential campaign, Joe Biden promised that he would make Saudi Arabia a "pariah" if elected, after the murder of the U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi under the orders of Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
But since his election, Mr. Biden has not done anything to alienate the Saudis or "make them a pariah in any way," said Michael Isikoff, the chief investigative correspondent for Yahoo News and the host of the podcast "Conspiracyland." CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett spoke with Isikoff for this week's episode of "The Takeout" podcast.
