LETTER: Trump on Khashoggi: case closed
As President Donald Trump spoke to reporters from the Oval Office, his arms were tightly crossed in front of his chest. And the expression on his face was somewhat contorted – as he continued to defend Saudi Arabia’s involvement with the apparent death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
There is no doubt that Trump’s relationship with Saudi Arabia is as thick as thieves. And even though all the evidence regarding Khashoggi’s alleged murder points in the direction of the Saudi government, Trump will disregard it as “fake news.’ Yes, indeed, Trump didn’t even have to open his mouth. His body language spoke for itself. As far as Trump’s concerned, this case is closed.
