Trump on Alleged Murder of Saudi Journalist

A Saudi journalist named Jamal Khashoggi had been living in the United States before he traveled to Turkey to the Saudi consulate to obtain some documents. He wrote for the Washington Post and he had writings that were critical and doubtful of the Saudi government. When he went inside the Saudi consulate, he never came back out. Turkish officials and his fiance believe he was killed and taken elsewhere by Saudi assassins. The Saudi government has denied these claims. Trump noted on their denial, saying "they were very strong in their denial about themselves knowing." Trump also compared this incident to the Kavanaugh incident, insofar that "we have to find out what happened first..." Trump also believes it is wrong to blame Saudi Arabia so quickly.
