I have nothing to do with Saudi—just so you understand, I don’t make deals with Saudi Arabia. I don’t have money from Saudi Arabia. I have nothing to do with Saudi Arabia. I couldn’t care less.
—President Trump on November 20, 2018, following the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents in Istanbul
