Reuters: Trump says Saudi prince denies knowing what happened at consulate
WASHINGTON/RIYADH (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday Saudi Arabia’s crown prince denied knowing what happened in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul where Jamal Khashoggi vanished two weeks ago even as a congressional ally of Trump accused the prince of ordering the prominent journalist’s death.
