Trump said he had talked on the phone with both Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman and more details about what happened would be known within a day or two.
Review of facts around Khashoggi murder
"He says he is not involved nor is the king," Trump said of the powerful crown prince, declining to answer whether he believed his denials.
A Turkish intelligence source relayed that at one point Qahtani told his men to dispose of Khashoggi. "Bring me the head of the dog", the Turkish intelligence source told Reuters that Qahtani instructed. ...
Maher Abdulaziz Mutrib is reported to have been seen carrying a large bag, which was not checked as he bypassed security checks through a VIP lounge at Istanbul's Ataturk airport.
MBS may believe he has enough power, influence and invincibility to escape real justice — and he may be proven right.
But he can never be sure. And for the rest of his life, MBS will enjoy the pariah status afforded to other international human rights violators. Whenever he or his accomplices travel to a country where human rights are enforced, they will have to worry if they would be held accountable for Khashoggi’s killing and various other crimes.
Just so you realize, this whole Khashoggi story is just a distraction.
First of all, the story makes no sense - murdering him would have been trivial to do undetected. Second of all, the story keeps changing. Third, he was (maybe still is) a scumbag intelligence asset. All we hear about this story is from unreliable sources, so just ignore it. They lied us into a war in Iraq that murdered 100,000 to 1,000,000 people, why do you think they wouldn't lie about anything?
Governments murder people all the time, Saudi Arabia is murdering plenty of people in Yemen right now, but this one man - he's suddenly really important, because of human rights? What? We you all born yesterday?

I guess we must have some dealings with the Saudis.

MbS is the first Saudi in decades to actually liberalize Saudi Arabian laws. What happens if he is forced to resign? Anybody think his replacement will be another daring liberal? Or a member of the "Safe Old Guard" that wants to return to exporting Wahabi fanatics and restoring the now-reduced powers of the Religious Police?
Ragheads killing rag heads is what AMERICA! is all about.
When did MBS stop exporting wahabi fanatics? ROFLOL.
