| Deposed Saudi princes 'sleeping on floor', as Trump says purge targets were 'milking' the country Posted: 07 Nov 2017 05:25 AM PST  Pictures have emerged reportedly showing deposed Saudi Arabian princes and ministers sleeping on the floor of the Ritz-Carlton hotel following their arrest in one of the kingdom's biggest ever purges. Some 11 of the Desssert Kingdom's princes were detained over the weekend, along with 38 senior officials. They can be seen bedding down on thin mattresses in one of the function rooms at the 5-star hotel in Riyadh. Among those arrested is billionaire investor Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who is a nephew of the king and worth an estimated $18billion. He owns stakes in Twitter, Lyft and Citigroup as well as the Savoy Hotel in London. "There is no jail for royals," a Saudi source close to the government noted.

Mr Trump said last night had "great confidence" in an anti-corruption sweep by Saudi Arabia that has seen dozens of high-profile political and business figures arrested. "I have great confidence in King Salman and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, they know exactly what they are doing," he wrote on Twitter. "Some of those they are harshly treating have been 'milking' their country for years!" I have great confidence in King Salman and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, they know exactly what they are doing....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 6, 2017 Saudi Arabian authorities have hinted they could widen the crackdown after princes and ministers were swept up in a weekend purge just hours after an anti-graft commission headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was established. The purge underscores an unprecedented restructuring of the kingdom as Prince Mohammed steps up a dramatic reform drive for a post-oil era while consolidating power before his eventual succession as king.

Mr Trump spoke with King Salman by phone on Saturday, according to a readout from his office, in which he lauded the monarch and his son's "recent public statements regarding the need to build a moderate, peaceful, and tolerant region" and urged the kingdom to choose Wall Street as a venue for the IPO of oil giant Aramco.

| Republicans push ahead with U.S. tax bill as Democrats sharpen attacks Posted: 06 Nov 2017 05:24 PM PST  By Amanda Becker WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican lawmakers on Monday began revising their proposed overhaul of the U.S. tax code, as Democrats pointed to the loss of popular deductions as proof the legislation was an assault on the middle class. A draft bill unveiled last week by Republicans in the House of Representatives, if enacted, would be the biggest restructuring of the tax system since the 1980s and the first major legislative victory of the Trump presidency. Although Republicans generally support the bill's broader themes, including a sharp cut in the corporate income tax, there are rumblings of dissent over other elements, including repeal of the deduction for state and local income tax (SALT) payments.
