Trump is quite keen to go along with this when it is not one of his allies who is assumed guilty (qv Syrian chemical weapons attacks leading immediately to US military action, and his calls to 'lock her up' over Hillary Clinton prior to any criminal trial). The world had much stronger evidence of Saudi guilt and Trump was saying there are still questions over whether Khashoggi was dead and whether it was the Saudi state who killed him.Meanwhile, Trump compares the case to the appointment of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing, saying: 'Here we go again with you're guilty until proven innocent.'
