WASHINGTON — Top Saudi intelligence officials close to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman asked a small group of businessmen last year about using private companies to assassinate Iranian enemies of the kingdom, according to three people familiar with the discussions.

The Saudis inquired at a time when Prince Mohammed, then the deputy crown prince and defense minister, was consolidating power and directing his advisers to escalate military and intelligence operations outside the kingdom. Their discussions, more than a year before the killing of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi, indicate that top Saudi officials have considered assassinations since the beginning of Prince Mohammed’s ascent.

Saudi officials have portrayed Mr. Khashoggi’s death as a rogue killing ordered by an official who has since been fired. But that official, Maj. Gen. Ahmed al-Assiri, was present for a meeting in March 2017 in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, where the businessmen pitched a $2 billion plan to use private intelligence operatives to try to sabotage the Iranian economy.

WASHINGTON — President Trump first noticed Matthew G. Whitaker on CNN in the summer of 2017 and liked what he saw — a partisan defender who insisted there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. So that July, the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, interviewed Mr. Whitaker about joining the president’s team as a legal attack dog against the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III.

At that point, the White House passed, leaving Mr. Whitaker, 49, to continue his media tour, writing on CNN’s website that Mr. Mueller’s investigation — which he had once called “crazy” — had gone too far.

Fifteen months later, the attack dog is in charge. With little ceremony on Wednesday, Mr. Trump ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions and put Mr. Whitaker, Mr. Sessions’s chief of staff, in charge of the Justice Department — and Mr. Mueller’s Russia investigation.

People close to Mr. Trump believe that he sent Mr. Whitaker to the department in part to limit the fallout from the Mueller investigation, one presidential adviser said.

White House aides and other people close to Mr. Trump anticipate that Mr. Whitaker will rein in any report summarizing Mr. Mueller’s investigation and will not allow the president to be subpoenaed.

We need regime change quick.

Supporters of Republican Attorney General Adam Laxalt awaited the election results in a ballroom at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno. After months of campaigning for the conservative lawyer who tied his chances of winning the governorship to President Donald Trump, organizers gathered there seemed optimistic.

The two Republican candidates at the top of the ballot had strong ties to Northern Nevada, usually a boon for candidates trying to win historically swingy Washoe County. Laxalt summered at Marlette Lake as a child with his grandfather, former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Paul Laxalt. U.S. Sen. Dean Heller, running for re-election, spent almost all of his childhood and much of his adult life in Carson City, just a half hour from Reno.

Their Democratic opponents were southerners: Steve Sisolak, the longtime Clark County commissioner and vociferously pro-South university regent running against Laxalt, and Rosen, the first-term congresswoman representing parts of Las Vegas and Henderson challenging Heller.

Turnout in Washoe County hit a record high for an off-year election, with 70.1 percent of active registered voters casting early ballots or flocking to the polls on Tuesday. Nearly three hours after polls closed, voters who had arrived before 7 p.m. were still waiting in line. Since Nevada only releases results once everyone has cast their ballots, anxious Laxalt supporters at the Grand Sierra also waited. At 10 p.m., results started coming in from across the state.

Things looked good at first, as several ruby red rural counties reported results from two weeks of early voting. As expected, they showed a Republican sweep. Laxalt and Heller were leading by more than 40 percent in some counties.

And then early voting results from Washoe County were reported to the ballroom.

The two Southern Nevada Democrats posted significant leads in Washoe County, where Republicans have a slight registration advantage and where voters often pride themselves on steering clear of politicians that live in the south. Rosen was up by 10 and Sisolak up by eight.

To win Tuesday night, statewide Republicans would have had to do well enough in Washoe County to surmount the firewall that Democrats had built in left-leaning Clark County, where more than 70 percent of the state’s population lives.

The Grand Sierra ballroom emptied out shortly after, as it became increasingly clear that Laxalt would have to concede. By the end of the night, only three statewide Republicans had won Washoe.

Washoe County went blue, and so did the state.
