President Donald Trump said Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan was "pretty rough" on Saudi Arabia in remarks on Tuesday about the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and said Riyadh s handling of the matter was "the worst cover-up ever."
Trump told reporters he wanted to get all the facts on Khashoggi s death at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul before agreeing with Erdogan s assessment. Trump, who sent his CIA director to Turkey to discuss the issue, said he expected to have a report pretty soon.
