Trump to call Saudi king about missing journalist

Trump said Friday he plans to discuss the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi with King Salman of Saudi Arabia.

"I will be calling, I will be calling at some point King Salman. I’ll be speaking to him yes," Trump told reporters in Ohio, where he is attending campaign events.

Trump is facing mounting pressure to confront the Saudi government over Khashoggi, who went missing on Oct. 2 after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to obtain papers for his upcoming marriage.

Turkish officials say they believe Khashoggi was killed inside the facility by a Saudi entourage, but the Saudis have denied those claims and said Khashoggi left the facility.

"Hey King you know what happened to Jamal Khashoggi? You don't? Okay."

He even screamed that he doesn’t like beer. I believe him. It’s even scary being a king these days.

that he thinks the Saudis wanted to fuel the speculation about them to send a message to other dissidents. After all, if they just wanted him dead they could've done it in so many other ways without leaving their fingerprints.
