Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and Washington Post columnist, disappeared after visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 to get documents for his planned marriage. Security camera footage captured his entry, but not his exit, and he's not been seen since. Photo by Kevin Dietsch/UPI

A protester dressed as Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammad bin Salman and another dressed as President Donald Trump, demonstrate with members of the activist group Code Pink outside the White House to call attention to the disappearance of Khashoggi. In an interview with The New York Times, Trump said Khashoggi is most likely dead and Saudi officials likely involved, but he did not explicitly put the blame on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Whoever is responsible, he said, will be punished. Photo by Kevin Dietsch/UPI
