TEHRAN, Jun 29 -US President Donald Trump says he raised the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC)- “I did mention it to him very strongly,” Trump was quoted on Saturday by media as saying.
Khashoggi, who was a critic of bin Salman, was hacked to death and his body was dismembered at the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, on October 2, 2018.
Last week, a UN report found that there was "sufficient credible evidence" to pin the murder on bin Salman and he should be investigated for it.
“That was a bad event,” Trump reportedly told bin Salman in the meeting on the sidelines of the Group of 20 (G-20) summit in Japan.
“I asked him what was happening,” Trump claimed.
Trump's comments came after the president told reporters on Friday that he was "extremely angry and very unhappy" about Khashoggi's murder, but claimed that "nobody has directly pointed a finger" at bin Salman.
