MBS hits back at Biden after the President confronts Saudi prince about Khashoggi By Phil Mattingly, Allie Malloy, Tamara Qiblawi and Celine Alkhaldi, CNN Updated 5:40 AM ET, Sun July 17, 2022 ?

"(CNN)Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, hit back at Joe Biden after the US President confronted him about the 2018 murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi during a meeting between the two leaders on Friday.

In the meeting, Bin Salman, also known as MBS, denied responsibility for the killing of Khashoggi at the kingdom's Istanbul consulate. Biden said US intelligence contradicted the prince's claims.

MBS countered with the sexual and physical abuse of prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison by US military personnel and the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the occupied West Bank -- incidents, he said, that reflected poorly on the US. Prince Faisal bin Farhan, the Saudi foreign minister, detailed parts of the conversation in a press conference on Saturday."
