(WASHINGTON) — The Washington Post says the Turkish government has told U-S officials it has audio and video proof of the killing of Saudi jounralist Jamal Khashoggi.

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Channahon), who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, says if true, the U-S should take appropriate action against Saudi Arabia.

“I have no doubt that the President needs to be forceful on this and frankly if the proof is what it appears to be, there needs to be targeted sanctions on individuals in Saudi Arabia and other consequences that the administration knows more about than I do,” Kinzinger said.

Khashoggi, a columnist for the Washington Post, walked into the consulate in Istanbul on October 2 intending to get paperwork that would allow him to marry his Turkish fiancée. He hasn’t been seen in public since.

Saudi Arabia firmly denies any involvement in his disappearance and says he left the consulate that afternoon, though videos show him entering but not exiting the consulate.
