US senators say they are confident the Saudi crown prince was linked to the murder of a Saudi journalist, following a private CIA briefing.
Senator Lindsey Graham said he had "high confidence" Mohammed bin Salman knew in advance about the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.
The South Carolina Republican described the Saudi royal as "a wrecking ball" and "crazy" and "dangerous".
"You have to be wilfully blind not to come to the conclusion that this was orchestrated and organised by people under the command of MBS," Mr Graham said, using the crown prince's initials.
The senator said he could not support arms sales to Saudi Arabia as long as the Saudi crown prince remained in power, or the kingdom's war in Yemen.
"There is not a smoking gun - there is a smoking saw," the senator added, referring to Khashoggi's alleged dismemberment.
