WRITER’S FIANCÉE TO TRUMP: ‘HELP REVEAL THE TRUTH’

-

ISTANBUL The Turkish fiancée of slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi has called on U.S. President Donald Trump and other leaders to ensure that his death in Istanbul is not covered up, while Saudi Arabia’s top prosecutor on Tuesday visited the Saudi Consulate where officials from his government killed the writer.

Speaking at a memorial in London on Monday, Hatice Cengiz expressed disappoint­ment in the “leadership of many countries.” Singling out Trump, she urged him to “help reveal the truth and ensure justice be served.”

“He should not pave the way for a coverup of my fiancé’s murder. Let’s not let money taint our conscience and compromise our values,” she said.

Saudi Arabia’s top prosecutor, Saud al-Mojeb, arrived at Istanbul’s main courthouse Tuesday for more talks with Istanbul’s chief public prosecutor, Irfan Fidan, on the investigat­ion, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency reported. The two had met for an hour and 15 minutes on Monday.

Al-Mojeb then went to the consulate and left after spending a little over an hour there.

Turkey is also asking Saudi Arabia to help locate Khashoggi’s body, which still has not been found.
