TAPPER: Welcome back. Just moments ago, President Trump talking about the investigation into "Washington Post" journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, said, I might know a lot by Monday. I know a lot already. He also suggested that Congress would have an influence on how he ultimately decides to behave towards Saudi Arabia.</s>DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I'm going to have very much Congress involved in determining what to do. You remember, with Justice Kavanaugh, I said, hey, look, the senators are doing a great job. I will in this case make certain recommendations.</s>TAPPER: This all comes as the White House is attempting to downplay any close ties to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman or MBS, whom U.S. intelligence officials believe ordered the operation, according to "The New York Times." CNN's Alex Marquardt joins me now. And, Alex, we're getting new reporting suggesting that Turkish officials immediately, immediately suspected Khashoggi had been killed after his fiancee reported him missing.</s>ALEXANDER MARQUARDT, CNN SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes, right, Jake. And remember that it was actually days before Turkey publicly then accused the Saudis of killing him. That delay likely because it would have revealed that Turkish intelligence had bugged the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and they could literally see and hear what was going on inside. And so, Africa Khashoggi's fiancee did report him missing, the Turkish intelligence service went back and decided to look at those recordings.</s>MARQUARDT (voice-over): Within mere hours of Jamal Khashoggi's arrival at the Saudi consulate, Turkish officials suspected he had been killed. An adviser to the Turkish president now telling CNN that after Khashoggi's fiancee who's waiting outside the building called about his disappearance, they immediately alerted Turkish intelligence. Secret audio and video feeds from the consulate which the Turks have not admitted they have but sources tell us exists showed evidence of an assault and a struggle, followed by Khashoggi's death.
