Saudi Arabia admits that Khashoggi murder was premeditated

Saudis shield crown prince as death penalty sought over Khashoggi murder

Saudi prosecutor recommends death penalty for five suspects over killing of journalist in Istanbul consulate in October

Saudi Arabia says it will pursue the death penalty for five suspects charged with ordering and carrying out the killing of the Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi, in the latest effort to distance the country’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, from the grisly murder.

The Saudi public prosecutor claimed that Saudi agents, including the head of forensics at the national intelligence service and members of Prince Mohammed’s security detail, had orders to abduct Khashoggi but decided to kill him when he resisted. The claim had been contradicted by an earlier Saudi finding that the murder was premeditated.

2 big new stories show the Trump administration’s aversion to blaming Saudi royals for Khashoggi’s death

It has been abundantly clear from day one that President Trump would prefer not to hold Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman responsible for the death of Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump has even said as much. “I hope that the king and the crown prince didn’t know about it,” he said Oct. 17. Almost everything else Trump has said has offered an alternate narrative that doesn’t implicate Mohammed.

And now that the rubber is meeting the road on the Trump administration’s official response, that continues to be the case.

What an utterly disgraceful apology for a US president. He's descending to the level of Netanyahu.
