KHASHOGGI LATEST:  US TREASURY SECRETARY TALKS WITH MBS IN SAUDI ARABIA, ERODGAN PROMISES 'NAKED TRUTH' TODAY


"....a plot gone awry"


President Trump's latest comment on Khashoggi's murder to "USA Today"


US Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin was in Saudi Arabia Monday meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

A spokesman for the Treasury Department said economic and counter terrorism issues were discussed as well as Iran, but that the Khashoggi murder was also discussed.

The fact that Mnuchin traveled to Saudi Arabia was fascinating after he had pulled out of an investment conference starting there today.

Mnuchin was apparently acting as an emissary of President Trump.

Mnuchin is in on the Trump Admistration's priority of aligning key nations like Israel and Saudi Arabia against Iran in the Middle East region.

He was a representative of the Trump Administration when the US Embassy in Israel was moved to Jerusalem earlier this year.

CIA Director Gina Haspel is heading to Turkey as well apparently to get a handle on what information Turkey has about Khashoggi.

In Turkey today President Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised to present the "naked truth" about Khashoggi's murder as he speaks to Turkey's parliament.

Pro-government media have already published articles in Turkish for public consumption that paint a picture of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's close involvement in what happened at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2nd.

Its reported that Khashoggi was put on the phone with Bin Salman who told him that he must return to Saudi Arabia.

When Khashoggi refused his murder by dismemberment was carried out.

There were phone calls between the consulate and a key aide to the Crown Prince as well with four calls being made to the Crown Prince after the murder according to the Turkish media.
