Rasa - The current US administration and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) are in an open feud over who is behind the killing of a Saudi journalist in Istanbul, Turkey, on October 2, 2018.

RNA - The CIA has reportedly concluded with high confidence that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing. US President Donald Trump, however, said on Saturday that the CIA assessment was “very premature.”

 

David Yaghoubian, a professor of history at the CSU San Bernardino University, said on that it seemed like there was “an open feud” going on between the White House and the CIA.

 

“It seems as though members of the White House staff are packing up... basically not being able to sustain this level of malarkey that Trump is still pushing,” Yaghoubian said.

 

“So, he (Trump) is still pushing the rogue killers [theory] and that he is skeptical about whether the crown prince was responsible and it seems as though the CIA and the rest of the American political establishment [have] made up their mind as [has] most of the world.”
