Trump tells reporter not to "embarrass his guest" by bringing up that dismembering a still-living Kashoggi thing [View all]

"Mr. President, is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you are president, is that a conflict of interest?" a reporter from ABC News asked during the Oval Office meeting on Tuesday. "And, your royal highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office."

"I've been very successful. I decided to leave that success behind and make America very successful," he continued. "As far as this gentleman is concerned, he's done a phenomenal job."

Moving on to Khashoggi, he harangued the reporter by saying, "You don't have to embarrass our guests by asking a question like that."
