Turkish president to give details on Saudi writer's killing

Source: AP

Turkish president is expected to announce on Tuesday details of his country’s investigation into the killing of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi, as skepticism intensified about Saudi Arabia’s account that he died accidentally in its consulate in Istanbul.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he will “go into detail” about a case that has shocked the world and raised suspicions that a Saudi hit squad planned Khashoggi’s killing after he walked into the consulate on Oct. 2, and then attempted to cover it up.

Did you believe Trump when he said he didn't know if the journalist was murdered? Trump is complicit when he speaks for our nation claiming that the murdered journalist and other journalists are enemies of the people. That statement represents the position of the United States and gives dictators across the world the signal that the US is ok with attacking their enemies, journalists. Trump called the journalist an "it" meaning that Trump didn't even consider the journalist a person.

Why not just hit the "alert" button on me, I'm willing to defend my position.

IMO Trump has his hands, dirty, everywhere. Months ago, the was a rumor of a boatload of cash.

And the notion that we can trust our intelligence agencies as fact finding reporters, is skewed.
