Democratic Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas suggested Friday that there might be a connection between the death of Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi and Jared Kushner’s close relationship with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (known as MBS).
The congressman, who is considered a top contender for Senate in 2020, called for an investigation into the matter. However, Castro cited unspecified reporting during a CNN appearance to back his claims.
There is “reporting that Jared Kushner may have, with U.S. intelligence, delivered a hit list, an enemies list, to the crown prince, to MBS, in Saudi Arabia and that the prince may have acted on that, and one of the people he took action against is Mr. Khashoggi,” Castro said.
