On the Fox News program "Sunday Morning Futures," he asked Saudi Arabia to make public as soon as possible the results of the investigation.
Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist critical of the Saudi government and its de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was killed after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in early October.
Prince Alwaleed told Fox News that an official Saudi investigation would show that the crown prince was not involved in Kashoggi's killing.
"Please, you have to give us some time until the investigation is done and made public by the government of Saudi Arabia," he said.
"I believe the Saudi Crown Prince will be 100 percent vindicated and exonerated." Alwaleed was one of many princes, businessmen and government officials who were arrested during an anti-corruption campaign that Saudi Arabia began one year ago.
He was detained for three months before reaching an unspecified settlement with the state.
