6:50 am
khashoggi the us president insists nothing has been concluded attack us media website however says that the cia has a phone recording in which the saudi prince orders that casualty be silenced as soon as possible she had tons of reports from washington d.c. celebrating it were you are the u.s. president had just completed a cool to troops to wish them a happy thanksgiving and have broken with protocol by asking a service members to comment on political logistical matters in front of the gathered press then he eagerly fielded questions on a range of topics from reporters the cia's assessment of the crown prince of saudi arabia ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi soon cropped up in the morning yesterday and i don't want to talk about it you have to ask the president insisted that the cia had not reached any conclusion about the crime. prince's responsibility for the murder and once again repeated what have been judged to be vastly inflated figures out of the saudi contribution to the us economy whether he
6:51 am
did or whether he did and he denies it vehemently his father denies it the king vehemently the cia doesn't say they did it they do point out certain things and pointing out those things you can conclude that maybe he did or maybe he didn't but there's no that was another part of the false reporting because a lot of you said yesterday that they said he did it well they didn't say that they said he might have done it that's a big difference but they're vehemently denying that. according to media reports the cia has high confidence that the crown prince gave the order to kill khashoggi however it did so based on circumstantial evidence such as communications intercepts and the saudi power structure and that's all the leeway the president needs to deny any definitive conclusion the president also said this didn't have saudi arabia we wouldn't have a big base with a puzzling statement given the u.s. withdrew most of its troops from saudi arabia in two thousand and three their

6:53 am
or that they are any way trying to do any harm to any of the u.s. allies in north or central america but certainly the thing that has raised people's eyebrows has been once again the president's decision to ignore the intelligence community which of course if anyone knows anything about the president's relationship with the u.s. intelligence community it has been nonexistent even before he became the u.s. president roslyn jordan fast in washington d.c. thanks very much for. saudi arabia's foreign minister has once again reiterated that the crown prince was not involved in. the tory gates and he takes a closer look at the evidence. the u.s. is imposed sanctions on seventeen saudi officials for their suspected involvement in the killing of jamal khashoggi they include a fifteen man hit squad that travelled to turkey to carry out the operation so who
