Jamal Khashoggi killing: Jared Kushner advised Saudi crown prince on 'how to weather the storm' after murder

Firstpost  

Since the early months of the Trump administration, Kushner, the president’s Middle East adviser, was in private and informal contact with Prince Mohammed, which was a cause of worry for senior American officials, the report said. Washington: President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner continued to have private conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and advised him on how to deal with the aftermath of the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi operatives, a US media report said. But even with the restrictions in place, Kushner, 37, and Prince Mohammed, 33, kept chatting, according to three former White House officials and two others briefed by the Saudi royal court. Only a few months after Trump moved into the White House, Kushner was inquiring about the Saudi royal succession process and whether the US could influence it, raising fears among senior officials that he sought to help Prince Mohammed, who was not yet the crown prince, vault ahead in the line for the throne, two former senior White House officials said.
