The son of Jamal Khashoggi announced that his family has forgiven the Washington Post journalist’s killers on Friday, in a surprise gesture that Saudi activists believe was secured by multi-million dollar payouts and intense pressure from the Kingdom’s authorities. In a statement on Friday, Salah Khashoggi wrote: “We, sons of the martyr Jamal Khashoggi, announce that we forgive those who killed our father.” He added: “On this virtuous night of this holy month, we recall the words of God Almighty in his holy book: 'The repayment of bad actions, is one equivalent to it, But whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, his reward lies with God. He does not love the unjust.'” Khashoggi, a columnist for the Washington Post, was kidnapped, killed and dismembered by Saudi agents when he visited the Saudi embassy in Istanbul to obtain paperwork to marry his fiancĂ©e in October 2018. It has been alleged that Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince and de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, had perso

RNC Pours Millions Into Convention Plans. Will It Go Ahead?

Image
Even as Republicans contemplate the prospect of scaling back their presidential nominating convention this summer, the national party is pouring millions into the group charged with financing and organizing the event, financial records show.The Republican National Committee transferred a whopping $6.4 million to its convention committee in April, according to records released on Wednesday.

In March, the committee had steered more than $1 million there.Both convention committees spent roughly the same amount in April—Republicans $835,000 and Democrats $860,000—but the outsized sums steered by the RNC into its convention account indicate a far larger down payme
