The president appeared to push back against the claim that the crown prince was invovled.
Donald Trump appeared to question a CIA claim that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, casting doubt on his involvement and instead calling Saudi Arabia a “tremendous ally.”
Even after the CIA concluded that the Saudi Crown Prince ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Trump is still covering for Mohammed bin Salman. “As of this moment we were told that he did not play a role,” Trump said this morning. https://t.co/XR7XOoHfZv

Donald Trump has not said exactly when he will be briefed by the CIA on Jamal Khashoggi’s murder and Crown Prince Mohammad’s alleged involvement. He is scheduled to travel to California on Saturday to survey damage from wildfires in the state.
