CNA Trump says Saudi prince ‘knew nothing’ about Washington Post journalist Khashoggi’s murder

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (Nov 18) fiercely defended Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the 2018 killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, insisting the kingdom’s de facto ruler “knew nothing” about the murder.
Trump sought to brush the gruesome murder of Khashoggi under the red carpet, honouring the Saudi royal with a flypast and lavish dinner, and formally naming Riyadh as a major non-NATO ally.
Mr Trump raged at a journalist who asked the prince in the Oval Office about the case for embarrassing the Saudi royal on his first US trip since the murder and called Khashoggi “extremely controversial”.
