JARED KUSHNER DISMISSED KILLING OF SAUDI DISSIDENT JAMAL KHASHOGGI: 'THIS WAS A TERRORIST MASQUERADING AS A JOURNALIST,' CLAIMS BOOK
Jared Kushner dismissed the murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi as a terrorist during an off-the-record conversation with a reporter, the explosive new book by Michael Wolff claims. But the White House denies any such comments were made.
Khashoggi, a journalist critical of the Saudi regime who worked as a columnist for The Washington Post, was lured to Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, and killed, triggering international outcry against Riyadh.
Kushner, who is President Donald Trump's son-in-law and a senior White House adviser on foreign policy, is close to the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and the two are known to communicate via WhatsApp.
According to Vanity Fair, Wolffs latest book, titled Siege, which covers the second year of the Trump administration, alleges that Kushner said of Khashoggi: This guy was the link between certain factions in the royal family and Osama. We know that. A journalist? Come on. This was a terrorist masquerading as a journalist.

(11,885 posts)Beforehand that Khashoggi was targeted to be murdered? Did the intel inform them before it took place he was a target and did nothing?

(20,998 posts)...Khashoggi's current whereabouts (Turkey), and the nefarious plot to murder went from there. Yes, Kushner* knew.

I would like to be alive to see humanity rise up and deal with the tiny percentage of the population that seems to think they have a natural right to rule over and oppress everyone else. I doubt it will happen; we'll probably destroy ourselves first. But I can hope...
