[Keilar:] Welcome back, I'm Brianna Keilar. We are seeing a major turn of break being developments between the U.S. and Turkey. An American pastor whose 2016 arrest in Turkey was condemned by President Trump has been freed and is expected to leave Turkey tonight. We have video coming to us. The release of pastor Andrew Brunson is coming as officials are revealing gruesome new details about what happened to a "Washington Post" columnist purportedly at the hands of the Saudi. We have much more on Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi in just a moment. Let's talk about the pastor. Brunson had been living in Turkey for 23 years when he was arrested in July of 2016, accused of trying to plot a coup. U.S. officials believed they were close to securing Brunson's release. Another source says Brunson is expected to leave Turkey at 9:00 tonight local time. Now, as the President celebrates the release of the pastor, he's under mounting pressure to respond to what happened to Jamal Khashoggi. A source says Turkish authorities have audio and visual evidence showing the father of four was killed inside the Saudi consulate after walking in the door as this video shows. This evidence described to the source was found to be, quote, shocking and disgusting. Two Republican senators are now pointing fingers at the Saudis as well.
[Sen. Bob Corker , Chairman Foreign Relations Committee:] Instincts say that there's no question the Saudi government did this, and my instincts say that they murdered him. It will hugely undermine that relationship, at least with Congress. The administration will have to pay attention to that.
[Sen. Lindsey Graham , South Carolina:] I've never been more concerned about his well being than I am right now. All the indicators point to Saudi Arabia. And if it turns out to be Saudi Arabia, as I've said before, there will be all hell to pay.
[Keilar:] Now Saudi Arabia says that it has no involvement in the disappearance of Khashoggi and today a Saudi team arrived in Turkey to investigate. The Saudi ambassador to the United Nations had little to say today. Check it out.
[Unidentified Cnn Reporter:] Ambassador, can you give us two seconds to explain on the Saudi view of Khashoggi, what happened to him? What is the view?
[Keilar:] That's really an image, Michelle Kosinski, our CNN senior diplomatic correspondent that says a lot about where the Saudis are on this. Tell us, though, where the evidence is leading. Michelle Kosinski, CNN Senior Diplomatic Correspondent: Well, we haven't seen this evidence. It's unclear if any U.S. officials have seen it or heard it. But what Turkish officials are saying is because that consulate, it's on their territory, it belongs to the Saudis, but the Turks have bugged it. So first it emerged of Khashoggi actually being murdered. There are sounds of a confrontation by Saudi officials with Khashoggi, that he's interrogated, there are sounds of him being beaten and then of him being murdered. They believe there have evidence of him being dismembered on the property of that Saudi consulate. Now today from the Turks, it is emerging that they also claim they have video of this. We don't know if the audio and video are of the same moments. But we've been asking U.S. allies, too, who are operating on the assumption that this evidence exists, but we haven't spoken to anyone who has said their government has seen. So, when the Turks are going to share this with the U.S. and its allies is not clear. It's unclear what are the Turks sharing. Now Saudi Arabia is coming there to have this joint investigation with the Turks. Well, how is that going to work? So, there's a lot to wait for in this case that is nothing but chilling and disturbing. It certainly is. Thank you so much for getting us up to date on this. We appreciate it. A business backlash is erupting against the Saudis since KHASHOGGI vanished. The list is growing of businesses and business leaders who are saying the future investment initiative, CNN is one of the media sponsors, no longer taking part in this event. Richard Branson has said he's pulling out of an economic development project in Saudi Arabia. Who are saying the future investment initiative, CNN is one of the media sponsors, no longer taking part in this event. Richard Branson has said he's pulling out of an economic development project in Saudi Arabia. Today the President's top treasury official said this
[Steve Mnuchin, U.s. Treasurer:] Well, first, let me just say we are concerned about what is the status of Mr. Khashoggi, although I haven't had direct conversations with the Saudis. I know other people within the executive branch have and those discussions are under way. I am planning on going at this point. If more information comes out and changes, we could look at that but I'm planning on going. Let's wait and see what information comes out in the next week.
[Baldwin:] I want to turn now to CNN business emerging markets John Defterios.
[John Defterios, Cnn Business Emerging Markets Editor:] AS one representative told me, it could take them years to recover. This is the crown prince, promising the world, going to challenge moderate Islam, allow women to drive, diversify the economy. I saw Secretary Mnuchin say he's going to stay engaged. He has no choice. I think in terms of the western know how that Saudi Arabia was looking for, not for oil because they're going to produce about 11 million barrels a day, about the same as the United States, but the diversification to open up entertainment centers, red sea island resorts, a high-tech city worth a half a trillion dollars, they needed the United States and German companies, for example. They're not going to have them there right now. It will be interesting to see companies like JPMorgan Chase and Blackstone, they're still on the agenda for Saudi Arabia. They have billions of dollars at stake. But will the shareholder and U.S. Congressional pressure force them to change their minds in the days ahead? That's going to be an interesting challenge.
[Baldwin:] And also, this line from Saudi Arabia where they're insisting that they have no involvement but you have reporting that the Turks is saying there is audio and video evidence, not just of him entering, not just of Jamal entering the consulate but of him entering and being confronted and tortured and killed. Will the Saudis have to pay a long-lasting price for this?
[Defterios:] This is a huge challenge. They remain in denial about the charges, despite all the evidence you've been presenting on the program this evening. These are the two side of the coin of the crown prince. He says he's going to open up this very conservative society and at the same time does very serious crackdowns. Less than a year ago, he arrested 300 Saudi businessmen and extracted $100 billion from them. It all leads to Turkey here. It hasn't been proven yet, but if that is the case as you're suggesting here, it's going to take years for Saudi Arabia to recover. And President Trump is trying to protect what he's earned over the last year in his view, $300 billion worth of contracts, a third of those in the military context. The U.S. Congress is going to put a lot of pressure to dampen down defense expectations, who are already complaining this evening they're at risk of losing those contracts and having competition, for example, from Russia and China.
[Keilar:] Thank you. Some in Florida are returning to their home for the first time from the storm, and some are realizing there is absolutely nothing left. We will take you there live. Plus, we'll take you to the largest hospital in Panama City that could not evacuate people from Panama City. See what they're doing now with the patients.
