Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan repeated his assertion that Saudi Arabia knew
who had killed Khashoggi.
Khashoggi, a
critic of Saudi rulers, was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2
October.
Saudi Arabia
has admitted he was murdered there, but denied suggestions its royal family was
involved.
It had
initially maintained the writer had left the consulate unharmed.
The Saudis
have also denied comments allegedly made by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman describing Khashoggi to be a dangerous Islamist.
The reported
phone call to the White House came before Saudi Arabia admitted Khashoggi had
been killed.
