Charitably call a theory of the case, and what many critics would be calling a cover-up. it says there were -- this is from the general prosecutor of the saudi press agency. discussions occurred between mr. khashoggi and the persons who met him while he was in the consulate in istanbul. then it says, im reading, for listeners and viewers of our program, not reading the fact. this is reading their allegation and statement. quote, that led to a quarrel and fighting by hand with jamal khashoggi, wh...

Makes a lot of sense. nick kristof, stay with me as part of our breaking coverage you called. in steve clemons is on the phone. steve, for you and our viewers, i want to play one of the more incriminating things we heard from the president. very clearly, this is before this news broke this hour, but well after what the president said was flatly contradicted by available media reports, to say nothing of private intelligence. here he was talking about whether perhaps it was not the saudis but rogu...

>> it certainly looks that way to me. its very sad. certainly looks that way. >> then another reporter asked what consequences saudi arabia should face its shown they were responsible. >> well, it will have to be very severe. i mean, its bad, bad stuff. but well see what happens. okay? thank you. >> both statements go beyond what the president has been willing to say up to this point. keeping them honest, its unclear how much credence to give these new statements, especially the part about sever...

Element. thats the sort of language that weve had in translation from the newscasters. theyre simply saying that this was a plot, that mr. khashoggi was murdered, but there is no indication whatsoever that theres any kind of finger pointing towards the crown prince, wolf. >> all right. stand by, sam. i know you are working your sources over there in riyadh. it is 1:16 a.m. right now in saudi arabia. i want to go to the white house. kaitlan collins is getting reaction i suspect. earlier in the we...

Instead, after days of echoing denials from the saudis, raising the possibility of rogue killers and stressing saudi arabias importance to the united states and the fact that khashoggi wasnt an american citizen, the administration says it wants to give the saudis more time to investigate. so let me repeat that. time for the saudis, meaning the crown prince, to investigate a murder and possible dismemberment that he himself or people closely connected to him, may very well be involved with. liste...

Essentially saying he didnt want it to affect the arms deal, he thought there were other avenues to explore there. he said he would make recommendations toing coul cong essentially saying it would be something along the lines of the arms deal. as you heard clarissa saying, it is who are they going to blame. though the president has come close to acknowledging that the reporter was killed in the consulate, he has not pointed the finger at the crown prince as others have and he has not said exactl...

Saudi investigation to be done. there has to be an international investigation. it has to be done with legitimate and credible means involving the united states, and it has to use those tapes, the surveillance that evidently the turks have done that show, in fact, torture, cutting of fingers, the idea that there was some botched interrogation or rogue killers or a fistfight thats responsible for the absolutely gruesome, brutal death of this american journalist, even though hes not an american ci...

That pass, what does congress do? thats whats been interesting. weve seen senators on both side of the aisle being aggressive about going after saudi arabia in terms of potentially blocking arms deals which go into the billions of dollars and enacting the magnitsky act. >> what theyre saying now, the saudis, sort of fits into what president trump said earlier in the week, that he had been told maybe rogue killers were responsible. >> we saw, i believe, on monday, the king had a call with preside...

$110 billion. i have had senators come up and congressman who said, "you know, sir, i think we should not take the order?" who are we hurting? its 500,000 jobs. >> we have a lot of important relationships. and relationship between u.s. and saudi companies. >> the tapes are explosive because they suggest culpability by the saudi crown prince. the "washington post" reporting that 11 of the is a killer -- 11 of the 15 killers in his squad have ties to saudi security services. one official is even t...

"the times" source for this report was an unnamed turkish official who described an audio recording that allegedly recorded the sound of the murder and the dismemberment of jamal khashoggi. "the times" report, quote, after he was shown into the office of the saudi consul the agents seized mr. khashoggi almost immediately and began to beat and torture him, eventually cutting off his fingers. the saudi consul then said, quote, do this outside you will put me in trouble. one of the killers replied,...
