Did Saudis consider Jamal Khasoggi an "enemy of the people"?

Did the Saudis try to do Donald Trump a favor and get rid of one of his "enemies"? He was a journalist for the Washington Post, a newspaper that Trump has called an "enemy of the people".

Who knows?

It is not out of the realm of possibilities, in my opinion.

Trump and the Saudis are very close.
