The Biden administration on Friday afternoon released an intelligence report that concludes Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved an operation to capture or kill Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside his country’s consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2, 2018.
“The world was horrified” by the journalist’s murder, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after the report’s release. He added the administration would respond with a “Khashoggi ban” a move that would effectively block from entering the U.S. any individuals who, acting on behalf of a foreign country, are engaged in “extraterritorial counterdissident activities.” He then placed 76 Saudis on the list, including many who were involved in operations to kidnap or intimidate other Saudi dissidents overseas.

We assess that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
There’s no waffling here: US intelligence implicates the crown prince in the murder of Khashoggi. It’s a conclusion that’s long been known, but now has the weight of the US government behind it. That’s particularly notable because former President Donald Trump would not blame bin Salman and also refused to release a declassified intelligence assessment after Congress passed legislation requiring it to be made public.
