The US director of national intelligence is expected to release a damning report that fingers Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed for the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October 2018.

Its declassification and release come just as President Joe Biden endeavors to reset US relations in the Middle East and return principles of human rights to a prominent position in US policy.

The 59-year-old writer had been told by Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States to go to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul if he wanted to obtain documents for his forthcoming marriage to a Turkish woman, Hatice Cengiz. According to the Post — for which Khashoggi regularly wrote — US intelligence had several key pieces of evidence pointing to Prince Mohammed.

In that call, Prince Mohammed instructed his brother to tell Khashoggi to go to Istanbul to obtain the documents he needed for his marriage.
