President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he has talked to officials in Saudi Arabia at the highest levels about the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and wants the United States to get to the bottom of the matter.
Khashoggi disappeared a week ago and was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul where he went to pick up a document he needed for his planned marriage.
Turkish officials have said they believe the Saudi writer and government critic was killed inside his country's consulate in Istanbul after he visited the mission.
Trump told reporters that he would like to invite Khashoggi's fiancee to the White House.
Trump says nobody knows exactly what happened and expressed hope that Khashoggi is not dead.
He says he's spoken with the Saudis about what he called a "bad situation," but he did not disclose details of his conversations.
