Categorically Untrue Statement
This is, without a doubt, the most uninformed, imbecilic, toady, poorly-written, categorically untrue statement I have ever seen from a president of the United States. A complete disgrace. https://t.co/9eqoWFeroX

Later the US Senate got closer to the truth. From the Congressional Record:
Trump doesn't trust the press, but believed Mohammad bin Salman. Weird.
From the Senate:

Grand Fenwick
Mr. President, you habitually insult others, but keep whining about being insulted by suggestions which you don't understand. That's childish. Excuse my French, but if you go on like this, we'll send the invasion squad from Grand Fenwick to the U.S. again! pic.twitter.com/wrBbNDC4di

Saudi National Security Apparatus Is Bearing the Brunt of the Blame for Killing
It's clear from the Saudi report their national security apparatus is bearing the brunt of the blame for killing #Khashoggi.

The Crown Prince Totally Denied Any Knowledge
Trump says the crown prince told him “maybe five different times” and “as recently as a few days ago” that he had nothing to do with the #Kashoggi killing.
Believe women? No.
Believe scientists? No.
Believe the FBI? No.
Believe authoritarians? Of course! https://t.co/tVAg3cw7Jz— Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 (@DemWrite) November 19, 2018
“I would love if he wasn’t responsible,” Trump said of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. To Trump, MBS is “a strong person, he has very good control.”https://t.co/2tXfPSoOKK

Trump Talks about Bruce Ohr’s Beautiful Wife
The big story that the Fake News Media refuses to report is lowlife Christopher Steele’s many meetings with Deputy A.G. Bruce Ohr and his beautiful wife, Nelly. It was Fusion GPS that hired Steele to write the phony & discredited Dossier, paid for by Crooked Hillary & the DNC….

Putin & Trump, Helsinki, 2018-07-16
The changes in the transcript.
== VOX ==
※ PUTIN: […] We have solid reason to believe that some intelligence officers, guided these transactions. So we have an interest of questioning them. That could be a first step. We can extend also it. Options abound. They all can be found in an appropriate legal framework.
※ REPORTER (Jeff Mason from Reuters): President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?
※ PUTIN: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.-Russia relationship back to normal.

The White House had to correct the official transcript. The error seems to have been caused by technical problems. But as for the issue date, the White House keeps providing wrong information: The final transcript was not issued on July 16th, 2018. The corrected version was issued on August 9th.
