Does anybody have any links to the story about Kushner giving up Jamal Khashoggi to the Saudis?

I am hearing on MSNBC that Kushner took our intel and gave it to the Saudis
and they used that info to murder Jamal Khashoggi. And now Trump Jr. is trying
to link Jamal Khashoggi to al Qaeda and bin Laden?

giving the enemies list to Prince Mohammed bin Salman before Kushner lost his clearance (and that led to the arrests - and worse - of a ton of people in SA.) I've only followed the story on twitter though...but if it's true, it would explain why Khasgoggi wasn't told he was a target...

actually makes sense. The Saudi guy already has an established hit squad and a controlled media, and nobody is allowed to expose the golden boy and his corruption.

American intelligence agencies have collected communications intercepts of Saudi officials discussing a plan to lure Mr. Khashoggi back to Saudi Arabia from his home in Virginia and then detain him, according to a former senior American official.

The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential intelligence reports, said it was inconceivable that such a plan could be carried out without the approval of the crown prince. The American intercepts were first reported by The Washington Post.

While it is possible that such a plan involved assassinating Mr. Khashoggi, the official said, it is also possible that a plan to trick Mr. Khashoggi into returning to Saudi Arabia, or to temporarily incapacitate and kidnap him, went horribly awry and resulted in his death.

I wonder how much Saudi money was behind bailing out Kushner and his dad for their Park Ave.
money pit?

Jared got his bail out money from Brookfield Management and they got the money from
the middle east and Qatar but i bet if you track it back further some of that money
came from Saudi Arabia. And like Russia now owns Trump Saudi Arabia/Qatar now owns
the Kushners.

Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, had access to the briefing, a highly sensitive intelligence update meant to be seen by only the president and his top advisers, before being stripped of his top-secret security clearance last month.
Before losing that access, Kushner was particularly interested in information about the Middle East, The Intercept reported, citing several former White House and US government officials.

When Salman became the heir to the throne in June, the daily briefing began to focus on shifting political allegiances in Saudi Arabia and named several Saudi royals opposing the crown prince, the Intercept report said.

Kushner then made a surprise trip to Riyadh in October, reportedly staying up until 4 a.m. with Salman to discuss strategy.
Several sources told The Intercept that after the meeting, Salman told close confidants that Kushner had spilled the names of the Saudi royals "disloyal" to the prince — something Kushner's camp denies strongly.

Salman told the United Arab Emirates crown prince about the meeting with Kushner, bragging that he had Kushner "in his pocket," The Intercept reported, citing "a source who talks frequently to confidants of the Saudi and Emirati rulers."
