CBS’ O’Donnell Confronts Mohammad bin Salman: ‘How Did You Not Know’ About the Plot to Kill Jamal Khashoggi?

[excerpt]

O’DONNELL: “Did you order the murder of Jamal Khashoggi?”
BIN SALMAN (via interpreter): “Absolutely not. This was a heinous crime. But I take full responsibility as a leader in Saudi Arabia, especially since it was committed by individuals working for the Saudi government.”
O’DONNELL: “What does that mean that you take responsibility?”
BIN SALMAN: “When a crime is committed against the Saudi citizen by officials working for the Saudi government as a leader I must take responsibility. This was a mistake and I must take all actions to avoid such a thing in the future.”
(...)
O’DONNELL: “The world wants the answer to this question: How did you not know about this operation?”
BIN SALMAN: “Some think that I should know what three million people working for the Saudi government do daily? It’s impossible that the three million would send their daily reports to the leader or the second highest person in the Saudi government.”
