Ex-CIA Director Brennan: 'Outrageous' for Trump to discuss inviting Saudi crown prince to D.C.
WASHINGTON — Former CIA Director John Brennan said it is “outrageous” for President Trump to talk about inviting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Washington when he should be treating the Saudi leader as a “pariah” for the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
Brennan’s comments, made during an interview on the Yahoo News “Skullduggery” podcast, came shortly after Trump on Friday announced plans to hold a “big beautiful party” after the election that would include Saudi King Salman and his son, the crown prince, known as MBS, to sign peace deals with Israel.
Trump indicated that he expects the Saudis to join the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan in signing such agreements — a historic event if it actually happens, though the Saudi leaders have yet to publicly confirm they are prepared to do so.
But Brennan, a vociferous critic of the president, said that Trump’s remarks show once again that he has no intention of holding the Saudis, and the crown prince, accountable for the brutal murder of Khashoggi, a U.S. resident, during his October 2018 visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to obtain documents that would allow him to marry his Turkish fiancée.
