The United States and Turkey have both denied an anonymously sourced ABC report on missing columnist Jamal Khashoggi, with President Donald Trump weighing in and calling it “fake news.”
Much of the reporting on Khashoggi, who was allegedly last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2, has relied on anonymous officials, often Turkish ones, and Turkish state-run media. One source was revealed to be an al-Qaeda- and Hamas-linked operative who is serving a prison sentence in the United States.
