Turkish officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation, say they fear Saudi Arabia killed Khashoggi. President Donald Trump has threatened “severe punishment” if authorities determine Saudi Arabia was behind Khashoggi’s disappearance. Meanwhile, American lawmakers are threatening to sanction individual Saudi officials if evidence links them to the writer’s disappearance. Meanwhile, Turkey has said it will search the Saudi Consulate for evidence, but that has yet to happen. Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Saturday that Saudi Arabia had not yet cooperated with Turkey on the search for Khashoggi.
