Mattis: ‘No Smoking Gun’ Showing Saudi Crown Prince Involved in Khashoggi Murder

The United States has not uncovered a smoking gun which proves that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was involved in the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, US Secretary of Defense James Mattis said on Wednesday.

“We have no smoking gun that the Crown Prince was involved. Not the intelligence community or anyone else. We have no smoking gun,” Mattis told reporters outside the Pentagon.
