"When the Oval Office was opened to the press, the leaders were quickly confronted about the murder of the Washington Post columnist. In 2018, Khashoggi went to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and never returned. He was never seen exiting the building, and it was later determined that he had been killed and dismembered. A month later, the CIA concluded that bin Salman likely ordered the assassination of Khashoggi."
"Following the contentious moment, Hanan Khashoggi Jamal's wife sent a statement to CNN demanding an apology and compensation from bin Salman. She was also critical of Trump's characterization of her husband, adding: This is not justification to murder him. While Jamal was a good transparent and brave man many may not have agreed with his opinions and desire for freedom of the press. The Crown Prince said he was sorry so he should meet me, apologize and compensate me for the murder of my husband."
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met President Donald Trump at the White House and faced questions about the 2018 killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Khashoggi entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018 and never emerged; investigators later determined he was killed and dismembered, and the CIA assessed that bin Salman likely ordered the assassination. Trump defended the prince, called Khashoggi controversial, and organized a welcoming flyover. Bin Salman called the killing painful and a huge mistake. Hanan Khashoggi demanded an apology and compensation from the prince and criticized Trump's characterization of her husband, saying such labels do not justify murder.
