The Biden administration said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has immunity in a civil lawsuit over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi

The Biden administration told a U.S. court that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s status as a sitting head of government shields him from a civil lawsuit brought by the fiancée ofMr.

Khashoggi, a former royal insider who criticized Prince Mohammed’s policies in Washington Post columns, was killed in 2018 and his body dismembered by Saudi agents during a visit to the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate where he was seeking papers needed to marry Hatice Cengiz, a Turkish citizen.

Wtf?

Still wanted to know why $2B was given to Kushner by MBS! Yet, no investigation? Quid pro quo for those stolen documents, perhaps?

They can give him immunity but everyone still knows he is a murderer. That won't change.

That's BS

They got immunity for 9/11 to.

Tell me America needs oil without saying it

Of course!

Yeah right

I don't care about Saudi people, Biden folks. I only care about my people. Jerkoffs!

LoL. MBS is not a US citizen.

Putin Peter the great crown Prince Mohammed bin salman oil $300 gold $3000 🇺🇸🇺🇸💵💵💵💵💵

Then bring a criminal one?

Biden soft as pudding

Biden, pls tell the world whether Benjamin Netanyahu has immunity in possible civil lawsuits in the killing of 50+ journalists in Israel?

Diplomatic immunity is a longstanding policy worldwide. Otherwise, Reagan and the two Bush presidents would have been tried in Den Haag for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

well after they got away with their association with 9/11 this is honestly small potatoes..

When hasn't the American ruling class been comfortable with regimes that use hacksaws and other implements on political dissidents?

How many extra months of the petrodollar did this buy?

Joe Biden to democracy: ImpeachBiden

Obviously because he’s innocent and has nothing to do with the case that has been closed for over 3 years. You just kept using the case as a political tool without any hard evidence on him.

Head of State Immunity. It’s a thing. But does it apply to the Crown Prince, who acts as king (Prince Regent, a la George IV during the Regency), but is not actually the Head of State. Someone cut a deal.

This is decades old an international law that’s crazy .Immunity from prosecution is a doctrine of international law that allows an accused to avoid prosecution for criminal offences.Immunities are of two types.The first is functional immunity,or immunity ratione materiae.

Curry favor with MSB? Don't use china yuan to buy oil?

JoeBiden pisses off the Saudi’s and in an attempt to kiss and make up he suggests giving immunity to the prince. Oh yeah, this is quite obvious…but, again, nobody cares about the truth.

U.S. administrations have lost legitimacy around the world. No sane person takes them seriously anymore

it is just a killer......

Lol

He has immunity until the people that protect him decide not to do it anymore.

Mohammed bin Salman in a nutshell USA Twitter SaudiArabia

He did not say he has immunity it's suggested he should have immunity. It's non-binding and has no power in a court of law. I mean it's not good optics, but at least report it correctly.

Is Saudi a satellite state of USA?

A journalist was murdered in NV by a Democrat. Not one peep from Dems...why? Because Dems don't actually care. Their fake outrage gets old & tiring.

Biden administration pressure MBS on OPEC deal for not extending petroleum products

'DEEPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!' cracks neck 'It's just been revoked!' BLAM!

Oil production bout to go up again, soon.

I thought Sleepy Joe vowed on his 'word as a Biden' or something to make him a pariah. What happened to that.

Why should government people have immunity when the rest of us don't?

Mahizadyaar

Support terrorism 🤦🏻🤦🏻

What a joke

Of course they did PedoHitlerBiden is trying to buy oil off him 🙄....

They had immunity for killing 3000 Americans on 9/11. What do you expect for killing one of them?

Seems legit.

US moves to shield Saudi crown prince in journalist killingThe Biden administration declared Thursday that Saudi Arabia's crown prince should be considered immune from a lawsuit over his role in the killing of a U.S.-based journalist, a turnaround from Joe Biden's passionate campaign trail denunciations of Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the brutal slaying. The administration said the senior position of the crown prince, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler and recently named prime minister as well, should shield him against a suit brought by the fiancée of slain Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi and by the rights group Khashoggi founded, Democracy for the Arab World Now. Utter BS. Come on, potus. Rethink this. Ugh! So sad that oil lets him get away with murder. Khashoggi was a terrorist spy
