Jamal Khashoggi was barred from writing in Saudi Arabia after he criticized Trump



Since Jamal Khashoggi was killed after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in early October, he has been widely characterized as a dissident.

Khashoggi considered himself a patriot, rejecting the term dissident, but he was often critical of the Saudi government in his reporting. But Saudi Arabia's government actually barred him from appearing in media there after he criticized President Donald Trump in late 2016, according to the US State Department.

Khashoggi had criticized Trump's stance and rhetoric on the Middle East in an appearance at a Washington, DC, think tank.

"The expectation that 'Trump as president' will be starkly different from 'Trump as candidate' is a false hope at best," Khashoggi said at the time.

Involved and knew all along what was going on. HE also helped the prince out by giving them intel on all his opposition I think, then may have sent mercenaries to round them up for him there, and some then were murdered too. if it was like this , we have a President who was complicit in murders.
