WASHINGTON (AA) – Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman unwaveringly denies knowledge of what happened to missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi, U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday.
“Just spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia who totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their Turkish Consulate, ” Trump said on Twitter. “He was with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during the call, and told me that he has already started, and will rapidly expand, a full and complete investigation into this matter. ”
“Answers will be forthcoming shortly, ” he added.
Khashoggi has been missing since Oct. 2 when he was last seen entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
