CIA was to brief Congress this week about their assessment on #Khashoggi murder. Likely that relevant people leaked the CIA conclusion to the US media and then other officials followed through

Two Saudi diplomats abandoned their posts without bidding goodbyes during #Khashoggi crisis: First one Saudi Consul General, and the second one is Saudi Ambassador Khalid bin Salman, MBS’ brother.

Now we know why Saudi FM Adel al-Jubeir was outraged by Turkey's call for an international investigation into the #Khashoggi murder.

CIA’s assessment of MBS’s role in the Khashoggi assassination also tracks with information developed by foreign governments, according to officials in several European capitals who have concluded that the operation was too brazen to have taken place without MBS’s direction

The Turks gave the CIA a copy of the Khashoggi murder audio, and the agency’s director, Gina Haspel, has listened to it. Saudi hit team member Mutreb called MBS’s senior associate al-Qahtani, and informed him that the operation had been completed, (Washington Post)

President Trump has been shown evidence of the prince’s involvement, but remains skeptical that Mohammed ordered the killing, (Washington Post)

BREAKING — CIA examined a phone call that MBS’s brother Khalid, the Saudi amb to U.S., had with Khashoggi. Khalid told Khashoggi that he should go to in Istanbul to get marriage documents and gave him assurances that it would be safe. Khalid made call upon MBS’ request

BREAKING — The CIA has concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to people familiar with the matter, Washington Post reports

BEWARE There are bloody pictures circulating on social media supposedly from #Khashoggi crime scene. Turkish officials say these pics have nothing to do with Khashoggi murder.

Trump, CNN muhabiri Jim Acosta’nın Beyaz Saray’a giriş kartını iptal etmişti. Ama federal yargıç bugün iptalin gerekli soruşturma tamamlanmadan yapıldığı için haksız olduğuna kanaat getirdi. Hakim henüz basın özgürlüğü kısmıyla ilgili karar vermemiş
