Relationship. he was the one who convinced president trump to make his first foreign trip as president to go to riyadh first. he hosted mbs when he came to the united states for a tour earlier this spring. he messages with him on whats app. hes done that in the past, which was a national security concern. so he does have a close relationship with him. and its really coming under the spotlight now with all of this going on and the disappearance of this reporter. >> let me read you what the "washi...

Happened to those pieces. and were also hearing from our sources that the leader of the operation then made the determination that the best course of action was to try to cover it up. we heard that substantiated by president erdogan himself today, saying there appeared to be areas that had been newly painted inside the saudi consulate. you, of course, mentioned the infamous cleaners who arrived before investigators even got on the scene. and theres just a broadening sense of skepticism about the...

I think thats, you know, a question that needs to be asked. then, were talking about a scandal that is far, far worse than whats in front of us right now. >> lets talk more about that. charlie david has new reporting tonight. he says jared kushner, president trumps son-in-law and adviser, urged him to organize an investigation that would show the culprit who was responsible for khashoggis death. he said the next day, that rogue killers could have been responsible. how critical is this detail abo...

U.s. has with saudi arabia when it comes to fighting terrorism, when it comes to iran, when it comes to the arms deal. it is clear the president is putting a lot of emphasis on this relationship and showing more skepticism when it comes to possible evidence from turkey, this audio reporting that reportedly recorded jamal khashoggie being killed. hes more septembkeptical that audio recording exists. saudi arabias denial, the president seems to be softening his tone when it comes to saudi arabias ...

Killers. who knows? >> who knows, he says. rogue killers. keeping him honest, he probably does know. either through turkish intelligence assets, through other allies or by way of our own capabilities. we the public may not know, but the commander in chief likely does at this point. yet, even based on our own limited knowledge, the notion of rogue killers or some accidental murder doesnt really add up. for starters, the two are contradictory. rogue killers and overzealous interrogators. if they w...

Interrogated, does that make much sense to you given what we know thus far about who some of these people involved were? >> no, i mean, this cover-up doesnt make any sense, anderson. its clear that the saudis have been lying like crazy. and theyre trying to figure out how to get out of it, and theyre floating these lame cover stories claiming it was an interrogation that got out of control, as if its okay to kidnap and torture a journalist and that somehow makes it just fine or claiming it was r...

Chief -- >> who is a baby. >> basically naive as a baby. >> what he may have done is give the saudis the idea for the rogue killerss explanation or announce it before it was supposed to be announced with this idea that was cooked up to explain it to the rogue killers. >> so what youre saying is not a baby, just incredibly cynical and doing the dirty work for autocratic killers. >> were going to get to a mix of big stories today. general jim mattis reacts to president trumps suggestion that hes a...

Mind, but it sounded to me maybe maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows. all i can do is report what he told me and he told me in a very firm way that they had no knowledge of it. he said it very strongly. his denials to me could not have been stronger that he had no knowledge. and it sounded like he and also the crown prince had no knowledge. it wasnt like there was a question in his mind. the denial was very, very strong. >> maybe, maybe rogue, i mean, willie geist, maybe rogue k...

Pompeo thanking king salman for his commitment to supporting a thorough investigation. well, thats a big question. how much of a commitment do the saudis really have to a thorough investigation. it does now seem like their defense will be, and its aided, if you like, by president trump, that this was somehow rogue killers. but frankly, we know that the 15 people who came on two private jets into istanbul were members of the saudi security establishment including one state forensic official. so h...
