Trump to hold "lavish dinner 'with a lot of pomp'" for Kashoggi killer Mohammed bin Bonesaw [View all]

Trump is planning a dinner for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman reported on Thursday.

"Invitations have been going out for a Nov. 18 dinner PRESIDENT TRUMP is throwing for Saudi Crown Prince MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN in D.C.," Sherman posted on X. "Not a state dinner because he's not officially the head of state. But a formal dinner with a lot of pomp. Some members of Congress, members of admin and biz leaders all invited."

Trump has long sought to cultivate a strong relationship with the Saudi crown prince, who has postured himself as a moderate reformer of his country but has been accused by human rights observers of suppressing dissent and consolidating absolute power.

Legendary Watergate reporter Bob Woodward has alleged in his writings that Trump bragged about helping the Saudi royals cover up this killing.
