With Turkey\u2019s graphic recording of Khashoggi\u2019s final moments finally in the hands of US intelligence agencies, the Washington Post<\/a> just confirmed what the New York Times first hinted at<\/a> more than one month ago: That US intelligence agencies believe that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman ordered the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in what is just the latest example of the Trump administration and its intelligence agencies working at cross purposes (the first being, of course, the investigations that eventually coalesced into the Mueller probe).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Khalid told Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to The Washington Post, that he should go to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to retrieve the documents and gave him assurances that it would be safe to do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n
