Opinion: Mr. Biden, Come Clean On Khashoggi’s Brutal Murder’s Secrets
Six years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered by the Saudi Arabian government. The US government has since declassified some information on Khashoggi’s murder, including its judgment that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammad bin Salman approved the order to “capture or kill” Khashoggi.
But far too much remains hidden, and this secrecy both prevents accountability and serves to endanger other journalists.
This is unacceptable, especially while the Biden administration upholds a State Department determination that MBS has “sovereign immunity” for his role in the murder—at least while he is head of the Saudi government.
