Fox News host Shepard Smith dismissed President Donald Trump’s theory that “rogue killers” could be responsible for the disappearance of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi. Khashoggi vanished early this month after entering Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul. Turkish officials say he was interrogated, tortured, murdered and dismembered inside the building by order of Saudi leaders. Smith said Monday on “Shepard Smith Reporting” that Trump’s theory appears to “give cover to the Saudis.”He added: “The president did not elaborate on why he said ‘rogue killers maybe.’ Fox News knows of no intelligence and no evidence to back up that statement. He “denies any knowledge of what took place with regard to, as he said, his ‘Saudi Arabian citizen,’” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn.
