Journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder was an "unfortunate accident" and any discussion that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was responsible and may not take the throne is "outrageous", the foreign minister said.
In a series of interviews on Wednesday, Adel al-Jubeir said:
"We will not tolerate any discussion of anything that is disparaging towards our monarch or our crown prince,"
On other television networks, Jubeir steadfastly defended Prince Mohammed despite a CIA assessment reportedly saying there was "high probability" that he ordered the murder.
"We have made it very clear that Saudi Arabia's government is not involved in this and the crown prince is not involved in this at all,"
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States would not take punitive measures against the kingdom or the crown prince over Khashoggi's murder.
