Trump on Saudi prince knowing of Khashoggi plot: 'Maybe he did, maybe he didn't'
Nov. 20 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump said Tuesday Saudi Arabia will continue to be a "great ally" -- despite purported ties between Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the death of reporter Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump issued the statement Tuesday afternoon, the same day he was expected to receive a CIA report on the journalist's death last month.
"Saudi Arabia say that Jamal Khashoggi was an 'enemy of the state' and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, but my decision is in no way based on that -- this is an unacceptable and horrible crime," the president added. "King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman vigorously deny any knowledge of the planning or execution of the murder of Mr. Khashoggi. Our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event -- maybe he did and maybe he didn't!
