Jared Kushner plays down Saudi crown prince's role in death of Jamal Khashoggi in Hannity interview

Salon  

Jared Kushner, the son-in-law and senior adviser to President Donald Trump, told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night that U.S. intelligence agencies "are making their assessments" about the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. When Hannity asked Kushner whether the U.S. would "get to the bottom" of who was responsible for Khashoggi's brutal murder inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the White House aide did not mention the crown prince. In a letter released in November, Trump said it is was unclear whether the Saudi crown prince ordered Khashoggi's murder. In his interview with Kushner, Hannity failed to point to reports implicating the Saudi crown prince, as well as a recent report that Kushner advised bin Salman on how to manage international outrage in the wake of Khashoggi's killing.
