| CIA Director Gina Haspel in Turkey to investigate Khashoggi murder |
| 2018-10-24 |
| [CBS] CIA Director Gina Haspel is traveling to Turkey as part of the investigation into the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, CBS News has learned. Saudi Arabia said Friday that Khashoggi, who was last seen Oct. 2, was killed at its consulate in Istanbul, but said he had started a "fistfight." Earlier Monday, President Trump told reporters "we have top intelligence people in Turkey," but he didn't specify who he meant. "We're going to see what we have," Mr. Trump said. "I'll know a lot tomorrow, they'll be coming back tonight or tomorrow morning. But we have people in Saudi Arabia." Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he will release a report Tuesday revealing the "naked truth" about what happened to Khashoggi. Khashoggi, a journalist for The Washington Post, was a known critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is a son of King Salman. Turkish officials allege they have video and audio evidence showing Khashoggi was dismembered. U.S. officials have been increasing pressure on Turkey to share the allegedly damning evidence. |

| #1 I still don't understand why this is any of our business. He was no more a journalist than I am plus he was an active supporter of Islamic terrorism aka MB. Let the Saudis and the Turks wash their own dirty laundry. |
