Hanan Elatr-Khashoggi, the widow of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, criticized President Trump for undermining her husband's legacy during a visit from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post, was killed in 2018 at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Trump's remarks labeling Khashoggi as 'extremely controversial' have sparked outrage, as they seem to dismiss the gravity of his murder and its implications for press freedom and human rights.

President Trump stated that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was unaware of the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. This claim was made during a press conference, where Trump suggested that 'things happen' in the context of the incident.

Trump's remarks come amid ongoing discussions about U.S.-Saudi relations and the implications of Khashoggi's murder.

The ruling was made by US District Judge Michael Shipp in Trenton, who also ordered Weinstein to pay $44,294,803 in restitution immediately.
