US to make final conclusions on killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in days: Trump

President Donald Trump has said that the United States will make final conclusions by early next week over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. 

His reaction comes after reports that the CIA had held Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman responsible for the killing. 

   

Speaking to reporters in Malibu, California after surveying damage from wildfires, Mr Trump said they will be having a full report over the next two days. 

 

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert earlier said reports indicating the United States had already made final



conclusions in the case were "inaccurate." 

The remarks appeared to contradict reports that the Central Intelligence Agency had determined Saudi Arabia's powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of Khashoggi. 

The Washington Post, which broke the story, said the CIA found that 15 Saudi agents flew on government aircraft to Istanbul and assassinated Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate. 

Khashoggi, a Post columnist, had gone to the consulate to obtain some documents on 2nd of last month
