(CNN)President Donald Trump offered his most stinging indictment yet of a Saudi effort to silence a dissident journalist, calling the series of events that led to Jamal Khashoggi’s death “the worst cover up ever.”
“The cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “It’s very simple.”
Later Tuesday, Trump went further, calling the episode a “total fiasco.”
