The Wall Street Journal said it was not immediately clear if or when Saudi Arabia would release a statement on Khashoggi's disappearance. Sources tell Fox News that President Trump has not been made aware of any pending report by the Saudi government. Khashoggi, 59, has not been seen since he entered the Saudi consulate on the afternoon of Oct. 2. Trump told reporters Monday afternoon that he was aware of the reports, but cautioned that "nobody knows if it's an official report." The State Department has urged a thorough investigation and called on Saudi Arabia to be transparent about the results — advice broadly tracking messages from allies in Europe.
