Trump defends Saudi Crown Prince over 2018 journalist murder

President Trump defended the visiting Saudi Crown Prince over the 2018 killing of a journalist. During an Oval Office visit, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was asked about U-S intelligence that concluded he orchestrated the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. President Trump stepped in, lashed out at the reporter, and dismissed the criticism. He claimed that the Crown Prince “knew nothing about” the Khashoggi murder.
