US President Donald Trump has compared the death of Jamal Khashoggi to the confirmation hearing of Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
"Here we go again with, you know, you're guilty until proven innocent, I don't like that," Mr Mr Trump said, according to AP.

"We just went through that with Judge Kavanaugh and he was innocent all the way as far as I'm concerned.
Mr Trump strongly defended Judge Kavanaugh in the face of multiple accusations of sexual assault made against him.
In this case, he was referring to a phone call he had with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, who Mr Trump said in a tweet "totally denied any knowledge" of the killing of Mr Khashoggi.
Earlier in the week, Mr Trump suggested that "rogue killers" may be responsible for the journalist's death.
Mr Khashoggi was a Washington Post journalist who was often critical of the Saudi Arabian government. He disappeared after visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this month.
