turkish officials. we don't know more about what they claim to have found. president trump tells the fox business network any u.s. response should hinge on what, if anything, members of the saudi royal family knew about this. we'll have more on that in just a moment. in earlier reports, turkish officials disclosed details of a gruesome operation involving interrogations, torture, and a bone saw. they say saudi agents killed jam mall khashoggi and attacked him or hacked him to bits. saudi officials call the claims baseless. now, there is word they are considering the, the saudis, whether to say that agents who were not authorized to murder, actually killed khashoggi during an interrogation that wept wrong. that's according to the "wall street journal's" reporting and also of cnn. the journal's parent company and fox news parent company share common ownership. secretary of state mike pompeo met with saudi leaders today. we're told he spoke with the king who officially rules the country and his son, more importantly, the crowned prince mohammed salman in effect the country's day-to-day leader. the prince is said to

u.s./turkish relations, share that kind of information with the u.s.? >> again, wolf, i'm not going to comment about any of the specifics of what's been shared or not. but i do think it is unusual that these turkish sources are so publicly indicating they may have audio and video indications of what happened in the consulate. usually intelligence services don't like to share, particularly things that would identify sources and methods. but this is such a potentially heinous crime, i hope the turks would if they had that evidence. and i would also point out that turkish government within the last 24 hours actually released an american pastor who had been held i think inappropriately for almost two years in turkey. so anything where turkey returns more to nato and to kind of a western lean would be a step in the right direction. >> senator warner, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >>> we're going to have a lot more on the breaking news, right after this.

u.s. and turkish presidents have agreed on the need to clarify and disclose all the circumstances of jamal khashoggi death in a phone call just a short time ago. said he would announce details of turkey's investigation on tuesday meanwhile saudi arabia's foreign minister called death a huge and grave mistake but said they don't know how what happened to the journalist of the saudi consulate in istanbul apparently contradicting saturday's official account that he died in a brawl jamal a shell reports now from istanbul. so on sunday talk is president reza seemingly set a deadline for officially releasing the details of how he was murdered and by whom we're going to make it clear what happened to jamal khashoggi god willing on tuesday i will have a group meeting and hopefully by then i will be able to find out what happened earlier yet another narrative was presented by saudi officials who had on saturday finally admitted to killing the journalist albeit by accident this time an unnamed senior official told the reuters news agency that's partially died of suffocation after agents sent to nego

this comes after "the washington post" reported that the turkish government says it has audio and video recordings. and that's according to u.srkish officials who say that the recordings show that a saudi security team detailed khashoggi in the consulate, then killed him and dismembered his body. the news now threatens to upend the administration's goal of strategic alliance with saudi arabia. excuse me. the trump administration's relationship with crown prince mom b mohammed bin salman. jared kushner in particular has courted the 33-year-old crown prince. according to "the new york times," cushier once even hoped that the saudi king would put his stamp of approval on the peace plan. the president tonight said he'll talk to the king soon and that nobody yet knows what happened. >> well, we're going to find out what happened with respect to the terrible situation in turkey having to do with saudi arabia and the reporter, and nobody knows quite yet. nobody's been able to put it all together. people are starting to form ideas, and as they're formed, we'll let you know. but it certainly is a terrible thing. >> was it a mistake fo

u.s.-turkish relations.s as if the case is building its own momentum, and based upon just the commentary this evening, i think those folks who know believe very strongly that this is exactly what happened and the hand of saudi arabia was involved in this. and so, i'm a little disappointed that the president seems to be a bit behind the conclusions that i think are clearly being drawn by the intelligence community, and i would -- i was certainly off put by the commentary today, trying to point out that khashoggi wasn't a u.s. citizen and it happened in turkey. i mean, those aren't really critical considerations. this is an extremely big deal, as senator graham pointed out. >> let me ask you about that. because when he has been talking about this, the president's talked about this, he has now -- it's now more than once, has made a point to say that khashoggi is not a u.s. citizen, although he is a u.s. resident and regardless of that, a columnist for the "washington post." listen to this. >> it's not our count

the turkish court is very different than a u.s. court. you have a three-judge panel, a prosecutor that sits up, a fourth judge. the accused is presumed guilty. you have to prove your innocence. i was proud how pastor brunson stood in the courtroom for hours taking questions and defending himself and asking how could this be? how could you have witnessed the light on in the middle of the night in a room in my church that has no windows? and the absurdity of the charges gave way to what happened today, i think. >> sandra: the turkish courts found pastor brunson guilty of the terror charges as we detailed him but sentenced him to three years, the time he has already served. he will be released shortly. this is what we're getting from there. senator tillis, your expectation he could be home when? >> we're hoping, as i said, if not hours, en route back to the united states over the next couple of days. our office will be working with the state department, some of my colleagues in the senate that have worked hard with us to compel his release a
