(23 Oct 2018) U.S. President Donald Trump is criticizing the Saudi operation that killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi, calling it one of the "worst in the history of cover-ups." Trump tells reporters in the Oval Office that he's expecting a full report on the killing soon. But he says, "They had a very bad original concept" and it was "carried out poorly." He calls the events after Khashoggi's death "the worst cover-up ever." Saudi Arabia has claimed Khashoggi, a writer for The Washington Post who wrote critically about Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, died accidentally in a brawl at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. But Turkish officials say a 15-men team tortured, killed and dismembered the writer and say Saudi officials had planned the killing for days.
