The Washington Post is reporting Saudi Arabia has given million-dollar homes and “tens of thousands of dollars” to the four children of slain journalist and Saudi government critic Jamal Khashoggi. Three of Khashoggi’s children are currently in the U.S., while his eldest son is reportedly still based in Saudi Arabia. He was temporarily barred from leaving the country following his father’s killing. Sources close to Khashoggi’s family have said they fear possible retaliation for speaking out about their father’s death and that the payments are buying their silence. A trial is now underway after Saudi’s public prosecutor charged 11 people over Khashoggi’s murder at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last October. In December, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution condemning Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for Khashoggi’s murder.
