Amanpour confronts Saudi minister on Jamal Khashoggi killing

The murder of Jamal Khashoggi was "gruesome" but a United Nations report into the journalist's killing is "flawed," Saudi Arabia's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir said.
In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, al-Jubeir denied that Riyadh should accept responsibility for Khashoggi's murder, and said he disagreed with the findings of a UN rapporteur who laid the blame on the government.
"This is a gruesome murder that took place without authorization, for which the people who perpetrated (it) are being punished now," al-Jubeir said.

    1. Really? Asking corrupt liars and murderers softball pre-arranged questions, then having fun with them? Great journalism.

    1. Let me guess, nobel peace prize winner Obama, is much better because he only merely orders the drone bombing of afghan kids and women in hospitals and wedding ceremonies (multiple times).

    2. . I’ve been on another CNN vid just then. And their supporters were calling this black guy a “Uncle Tom” for supporting Trump. The left are honestly truly sick and hypocritical

  1. America’s bosom buddies in the Middle East: Saudi Arabia and Israel. When you lie down with dogs, expect to be infested with their fleas….

  2. Someone give this man a copy of the UN report. His points on rogue operators are laughable when one realizes the scale of this murder, prep, involvement of the Saudi consulate officials, logistics, cover up attempts by the Saudi government etc. interviewing him or any other government official is a waste of calories.

  3. “This is a murder without authorisation”….so authorized murders would still be okay? Okidoki.

    1. yep its called assassination or extra judicial killing. Israeli’s assassinated a guy in his hotel room in dubai for instance, were is the coverage of that?

  4. So not only did the Saudi government murder a journalist, they’re also putting innocent people on “trial” for the crime. 👏

  5. Busted! It’s a cover up by Prince MBSAS and the Saudi minister. Khashoggi’s murder was ordered by them. They need to be held accountable, I truly hope hope the UN succeeds doing so.

  6. He is salivating about his Government moving into Iran and reaping the riches of oil. Cash & Greed his motivation. Humaninty he is indifferent to.

  7. It’s nice to see that he’s got a picnic blanket and rings for tossing on his head in case the weather picks up.

  8. I love how this lady knocks down all of this dude’s bs.

    “Well, no one is ever in charge of the press—“

    “No, you were.”
