5:33 am
for two ce o the journalist. now it changed its story to a fight which by implication blames the victim, too. a kidnapping gone wrong to a killing and to suspects who then tried to cover everything up. but nothing to do with the royal family. critics both in the u.s. congress and overseas are already calling this another saudi cover up. overnight, a stunning reversal from the saudi government. now admitting that jamal khashoggi was assaulted and killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. state prosecutors say the saudi writer, last seen writing in the consulate to get papers for his the saudis say 18 of stheir death. citizens have been arrested and five fired. including some close to the
5:34 am
crown prince. deputy head of teenageintellige. >> we don't change because we want to satisfy people. we change because we want our dreams. we want to spend time running. we need to live it. >> reporter: the saudis say the men arrested went to istanbul to possibly bring khashoggi back to riyadh. in the consulate, what they called discussions didn't go as required. after khashoggi's death, the men covered up what happened. khashoggi's fiancee tweeted asking where is his body. the saudis have not revealed that. turkish police are still searching in a forest near istanbul. a possible dumping ground. the saudi explanation doesn't match claims he was tortured, killed and dismembered in the nsule. and it pros
5:35 am
who it has been announced servi. th royals have announced the fall guys, but the full truth has yet to emerge. >> bill, why do the saudis say he left the consulate alive and why is there audio saying this is nothing like a fist fight? >> reporter: exactly, sheinelle. the turks have yet to produce that audio tape that they say records the moment of the killing. of course, their criminal investigation continues. as for the saudis, there are holes all over the story and haven't provided any evidence to back up the story. if it wasn't a premeditated killing, why did they bring a forensic specialist allegedly with a bone saw into the consulate in the first place? what is clear is that the saudis are sticking by their crown prince andfact, as a result of inquiry he will head, he is
5:36 am
actually consolidating his power. sheinelle. >> bill neely, thank you. >> a lot of inconsistencinconsi. the admission of the khashoggi death has left a lot with unanswered questions. congress demanding answers and the president has a different take on what the saudis had to say. we have kelly o'donnell with more on that. good morning, kelly. >> reporter: good morning, peter. the president will be in touch with the crown prince by phone now they have taken public steps acknowledging the jamal khashoggi death. now after two weeks with bad information or none at all, the president is surprised the saudis have made some progress. president trump's first reaction came late friday in arizona. >> they have arrested a large number of people and good first step. >> repr:ntaid h dismissed as just a theory the saudi government
5:37 am
statement that washington post journalist jamal khashoggi was killed during a fist fight inside their consulate in turkey. >> saudi arabia is a great ally. what happened is unacceptable. >> reporter: meeting with defense contractors, the president said he would prefer the u.s. impose sanctions, but not cancel military sales to the kingdom. he stressed the complexity of the crisis. >> we need them as a counter balance to iran and it is not as simple. >> reporter: the white house issued a statement after khashoggi's death was confirmed. we offer our deepest condolences to his family, fiancee and friends. while in arizona, the president toured luke air force base. and switched gears to campaign mode. >> hello, arizona. >> reporter: there to help the republican senate candidate martha mcsally. n immigration, the president talked about a
5:38 am
caravan of thousands of migrants heading north from central america. blaming democrats for what he called open borders. >> anybody that votes for a democrat now is crazy. when you look at what is coming up. >> reporter: stoking fear, he says many making that trek are dangerous. >> you got some tough people in those groups and i'll tell you what, this country doesn't want them. okay? we don't want them. >> reporter: turning back to the saudis account, that has been met with bipartisan skepticism. key democrats don't buy it. we have a couple of examples from republicans. ally of the president on many issues, lindsay graham tweeted to say i'm skeptical of the saudi narrative of khashoggi is an understatement. and bob corker said the story the saudis have told about jamal khashoggi's disappearance continues to change with each passing day. we should not assume the latest story holds water. the president intends to work
5:39 am
with congress on punitive response. something like sanctions. peter. >> kelly at the white house. thank you very much. >> let's bring in ashley parker. a white house reporter for "the washington post" and political analyst. good morning. >> good morning. >> ashley, after two weeks of denials from saudi arabia, now they are acknowledging jamal khashoggi's death. there is a lot of criticism of this over the idea a 59-year-old guy walked into consulate with 15 guys and got into a fist fight and tried to fight . the president praised the explanation. he said it was a great first step and called the explanation credible. the white house response is muted. what is the calc? understanding president was struck by sort of the reports of the gruesomeness of the death. he knew he had to show some response. to really blow up that strategic relationship he believes to
5:40 am
undermine the arms deal. he wants to be able to show he is doing something, but not really be as forceful as many in the administration and many republicans in congress would like to see from him. >> let's shift gears a little bit. i want to look at the pictures in kelly's spot. this caravan carrying thousands of migrants. look at this. streaming across the bridge in guatemala. attempting to cross to mexico on friday. the president is honing in on the could this focus on immigration work for him in the 2018 midterms? >> he certainly believes has b going to turn out to support his achievements. he needs to talk about grievances and picture gone amiss. this is a great wedge issue. this stirs up his base. that's why you are seeing him talk about it in the final stretch. especially in states like arizona where it really resonates. >> ashley, let's ask the president has been on the road a lot and i have seen you at the
5:41 am
rallies recently here. the president focusing on red states or regions of the states which he has been going to so f far. the president said this is all about me. a vote for whoever is a vote for me. he recently said he won't accept the blame if the republicans loos lose, at least the house. he seems he wants it both ways. are these midterms a referendum on president trump? >> in a lot of ways, they are. mier inserted himself in the center.he sd pre. his aides say win or lose, he has to own it. this is blame and basically said if republicans lose, it is not my fault. >> another stop tonight in nevada. then heads off to wisconsin and texas next week. a lot of travel. ashley parker, thank you very much. >> thank you.
