“Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist — 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office.” “You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about, whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happened, but he knew nothing about it. We have a extremely respected man in the Oval Office today, and a friend of mine for a long time, a very good friend of mine. As far as this gentleman is concerned, he’s done a phenomenal job. You don’t have to embarrass our guests by asking a question like that.” Reporter: “Mr. President —” “About the journalist, it’s really painful to hear anyone that’s been losing his life for no real purpose or not in a legal way. And it’s been painful for us in Saudi Arabia. We did all the right steps of investigation, etc., in Saudi Arabia, and we’ve improved our system to be sure that nothing happens like that. And it’s painful and it’s a huge mistake, and we’re doing our best that this doesn’t happen again.”
