HILL: Saudi Arabia's crown prince says he takes full responsibility for the killing of a "Washington Post" journalist but tells "60 Minutes" he did not order Jamal Khashoggi's murder. This week marks one year since Khashoggi went missing after walking into the Saudi embassy in Istanbul. The CIA concluded bin Salman personally ordered murder. Joining me now is CNN senior international correspondent, Ben Wedeman. So he did not know about it? He did not know about the order of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi? How much stock are people putting in that?</s>BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Not much. Even President Trump said this is the worst cover-up ever. What we've seen since October 2 of last year, when Jamal Khashoggi entered that consulate in Istanbul never to emerge, is that the only consistent thread in this Saudi story is, as the Crown Prince Mohammad said in his interview with "60 Minutes," is that he had nothing to do with the murder of the American journalist.</s>SHARYN ALFONSI, CO-HOST, 60 MINUTES: Did you order the killing of Jamal Khashoggi?</s>MOHAMMAD BIN SALMAN, SAUDI ARABIAN CROWN PRINCE (through translation): 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.</s>WEDEMAN: Now, if this were an obscure Saudi dissident stabbed to death in a back alley in Riyad, perhaps that claim might be believable. But Jamal Khashoggi was perhaps the most prominent Saudi journalist who has ties going back to the royal family to the 1980s. Now, for him to be murdered in a Saudi consulate by a hit team that's composed of some of the most senior members of the crown prince's entourage who were flown there in two jets contracted by the Saudi government, this claim by the crown prince doesn't carry a lot of weight -- Erica?
