latest secret meeting by trump campaign with Saudis.
MBS, as the crown prince is known, bragged about his close relationship to Kushner, claiming he gave him the names of Saudis disloyal to him — information Kushner might have gleaned from the president’s daily brief. MBS reportedly remarked that Kushner was “in his pocket.”
Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, who ousted the heir to the throne last summer and later arrested dozens of business leaders and government officials in what was ostensibly a crackdown on corruption.
Kushner reportedly riled top national-security officials by arranging private calls with MBS and other foreign leaders.
Claiming that they were moved by Trump’s call to crack down on terrorism, in June 2017 Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates organized a blockade of Qatar, setting off an ongoing crisis. In reality, the move was sparked by a deep regional rivalry.
An hour after Tillersoncalled onArab nations to ease the blockade, Trump voiced his strong support for the Saudi-led action, first on Twitter:
Kushner took an unannounced trip to Riyadh in late October, andaccording toDavid Ignatius, he and Prince Mohammed “are said to have stayed up until nearly 4 a.m. several nights, swapping stories and planning strategy.
Afterward, MBS reportedly bragged about Kushner tipping him off about disloyal Saudis.
