As the sitting head of government, the crown prince should be immune from the suit, the United States said in a late Thursday court filing, just before a deadline for the Justice Department to weigh in. “Mohammed bin Salman, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is the sitting head of government and, accordingly, is immune from this suit,” the filing reads.
The crown prince denies the allegations and has sought immunity from prosecution, but his royal position would not legally entitle him to sovereign immunity, which is reserved for heads of state. Human rights advocates lashed out at the administration over the decision, charging that it could open the door to future abuses.
“The Trump administration, for all of its embrace of [the crown prince], never gave him the immunity he wanted,” Ignatius said. “He has been seeking immunity since 2020, 2021. The Trump administration left office without acting on that request.” Biden has faced criticism for sitting down with the crown prince after promising on the campaign trail to take a hard line against the “pariah” kingdom over Khashoggi’s murder. The president said he confronted the crown prince over the killing during a meeting in Jeddah this summer, angering the royal, according to reports.
