Trump: Saudi journalist's death the 'worst cover-up ever'

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday ramped up his rhetoric against Saudi Arabia over the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, describing the kingdom’s efforts to hide the journalist’s killing as the “worst cover-up ever.”

“They had a very bad original concept, it was carried out poorly and the cover up was the worst in the history of cover ups. They had the worst cover up ever,” Trump told reporters at the White House, according to The Hill.
