US President Donald Trump is still remaining non-committal about the possibility that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman lied to him when he denied involvement in the assassination of dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
” I don’t know, you know, who could really know,” Trump said on Fox News Sunday, when asked if he thought he had been lied to. “But I can say this: he’s got many people now that say he had no knowledge.”
The president, who is in a $110 billion arms deal with the monarchy, further said he would not listen to the audio of Khashoggi’s killing provided to the CIA by the Turkish intelligence.
Trump says he doesn’t want to hear the tape of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
TRUMP: “I don’t want to hear the tape. No reason for me to hear the tape.”
Q: “Why don’t you want to hear it, sir?”
TRUMP: “It’s a suffering tape. It’s a terrible tape. I’ve been fully briefed on it.” pic.twitter.com/oiBbrePBC0— Kyle Griffin…
