Jamal Khashoggi killing: Anger as US offers Saudi crown prince immunity over journalist's murder​

Joe Biden had previously vowed to make a "pariah" out of the country's rulers following the 2018 outrage, but the State Department is now pressing for immunity from prosecution.

Joe Biden has been accused of "capitulation" after his administration said Saudi Arabia's crown prince should not face legal action over the murder of a US-based journalist.


Despite the US president having previously vowed to make a "pariah" out of the country's rulers following the 2018 killing of Jamal Khashoggi, the State Department has declared Mohammed bin Salman's high office should protect him from prosecution for his alleged role in the slaying.
