President Trump spoke out Tuesday on journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, calling it the “worst cover-up ever.”

President Donald Trump: “They had a very bad original concept. It was carried out poorly, and the cover-up was one of the worst in the history of cover-ups. It’s very simple. Bad deal, should have never been thought of. Somebody really messed up.”

On Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the U.S. will revoke the visas of Saudi operatives accused of participating in Khashoggi’s killing. Pompeo went on to reaffirm the U.S.'s “shared strategic interests with Saudi Arabia,” echoing Trump's statements about Saudi Arabia as a strong ally to the United States.
