Jared Kushner held his first meeting with the Saudi prince following the killing of Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul in October.
The first face-to-face meeting between President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner and Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman has been denounced as “shameful” by an international human rights group.
Whitson also decried Kushner’s failure to challenge Bin Salman over Saudi Arabia’s continued war in Yemen or the government’s persecution and torture of female activists. “Jared may think he can sweep the piles of cadavers MBS is responsible for under some magic carpet, but neither the American people nor the newly elected and very empowered Congress will tolerate this,” she said.
After a brief honeymoon on the international stage Bin Salman’s reputation went into a nosedive after he was implicated in the killing of Khashoggi, a journalist and dissident who disappeared following a meeting at a Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul.
