Jamal Khashoggi Is Dead, Saudi Arabia Says
Oct. 19, 2018
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Saudi Arabia has announced that Jamal Khashoggi, the dissident Saudi journalist who disappeared in Istanbul more than two weeks ago, is dead.
Eighteen Saudis have been arrested and are being investigated in connection with the case, according to a statement released through state-run media. None were identified.
In the statement, the kingdom’s public prosecutor said that an investigation had found that an argument broke out between Mr. Khashoggi and men who met him inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2, leading to “a fistfight that led to his death.”
Turkish officials have said that Mr. Khashoggi was killed and dismembered inside the consulate by a team of 15 Saudi agents who had flown in to meet him. His body has yet to be found.

Oh, okay. It took more than two weeks for the Saudis to state that Khashoggi is dead and all due to a 'scuffle' inside the consulate. However, there's little detail as to how his body was chopped up to little pieces and carted out to either fly back to Riyahd or be buried inside someone's garden. Their lies are even more transparent than Trump's are.
