An aide to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Turkish media on Friday that he believes journalist Jamal Khashoggi's body was dismembered in order for it to be dissolved in acid, the BBC reports.
The details: Yasin Aktay, adviser to Erdogan, said that the Saudis' "aim was to leave no trace of the body," per Bloomberg. There is no evidence yet to support that Khashoggi's body was dissolved, the BBC reports.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told "Fox News Sunday" that public schools that don't reopen in the fall should not get federal funds, and that the money should be redirected to families who can use it to find another option for their children.

House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) criticized Republicans for not speaking out against President Trump's commutation of Roger Stone's prison sentence, pointing out on ABC's "This Week" that Stone was convicted for lying to a GOP-led committee.
The big picture: Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) are the only Republican senators who have condemned the move, with Romney calling it "unprecedented, historic corruption" and Toomey noting that Stone was "duly convicted" by a jury.
