President Trump on Thursday said "it certainly looks" like journalist Jamal Khashoggi is dead, as his administration has thus far avoided specific conclusions about the missing writer's fate.

Asked if he believes Khashoggi is dead, the president responded, "It certainly looks that way to me. It's very sad. It certainly looks that way."

The president said there will be "very severe" consequences for the Saudis if they're found responsible, before adding, "But we'll see what happens."

Mr. Trump has been reluctant to blame the Saudis in the situation, citing their generous investment in the United States' economy.
"They are ordering military equipment," Mr. Trump told "60 Minutes" last week. "Everybody in the world wanted that order. Russia wanted it, China wanted it, we wanted it. We got it."

5. "He might be dead. We don't know. We're looking into it."

"We've got good people looking into it. HEY, we don't know what happened. It could have been anybody. We're looking to see-- HEY, don't interrupt me. Don't interrupt me. This is what the fake news media does. And they do this every time. They do this every time. They try to change the subject. They don't listen and they change the subject. And this is why we need to be careful. We need to be careful what's happening in this country. We need to protect our borders. We need to protect them. We need to protect our borders, and the Democrat party doesn't want to do any of that. Yeah, that's right. The Democrats don't want to stop any of that. They want to let rapists and murderers into this country..."
