NBC and other outlets have reported that the agency recently concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
After Trump tweeted a statement of support for Saudi rulers Wednesday, Washington Post publisher and CEO Fred Ryan slammed Trump in an op-ed.
« A clear and dangerous message has been sent to tyrants around the world: Flash enough money in front of the president of the United States, and you can literally get away with murder, » Ryan wrote.
Pressed Thursday on whether his message to foreign leaders is that they can act with impunity, Trump said « no.
