Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) on Sunday called for the U.S. to ban oil imports from Saudi Arabia over the death of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Heinrich, who is running for re-election, released a statement days after the Saudi government acknowledged that Khashoggi died inside its consulate in Istanbul.
