Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner defends his relationship with the notorious crown prince of Saudi of Arabia in a forthcoming memoir, saying that Mohammed Bin Salman was a reforming power in the kingdom and that he believed his denials of any personal involvement in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Kushner's ties to MBS have been under intense scrutiny this year. Six months after leaving the White House, his new private equity firm secured a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the 36-year-old Saudi crown prince, raising questions about whether Kushner was being rewarded for acting as a go-between. In 'Breaking History: A White House Memoir,' which will be published on August 23, Kushner defends working with MBS, even after dissident journalist Khashoggi was killed in 2018 at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. 'While this situation was terrible, I couldn't ignore the fact that the reforms that MBS was implementing were having a positive impact on millions of people in the kingdom—especially women,' he writes, according to excerpts published by the 'All of these reforms were major priorities for the United States, as they led to further progress in combating extremism and advancing economic opportunity and stability throughout the war-torn region. 'The kingdom was poised to build on this historic progress, and I believed it would.'

The prince initially faced renewed scrutiny of his human rights record from Biden, who released an intelligence report stating MBS had 'approved an operatio' to capture or kill Khashoggi. Biden did not, however, take action against the crown prince and this month the pair met on Saudi soil, despite an earlier pledge to make the country a 'pariah'. This shift is perhaps an acknowledgement that Prince Mohammed, still in his 30s, could rule Saudi Arabia for half a century or more.
