(CNSNews.com) – Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told President Biden that the killing of Jamal Khashoggi was an “abhorrent” crime that the kingdom had responded to seriously, but that “these are issues – mistakes – that happen in any country, including the U.S.,” according to Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister.
The crown prince moreover told Biden that Saudi Arabia expected the U.S. to act responsibly – as Saudi Arabia had – in response to its own mistakes, citing the abusive treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison during the Iraq war, and the drone strike in Kabul last summer that killed ten civilians from one family.
In addition, Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud said, bin Salman told the American president that countries should not try to impose their values on others.
Biden earlier told reporters that he had raised the murder of Khashoggi at the top of his meeting with Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, “making it clear what I thought of it at the time and what I think of it now.”
He said he had made “crystal clear” his view that for an American president to be silent on the issue of human rights would be “inconsistent with who we are and who I am.”
Asked how the crown prince had responded, Biden said, “He basically said that he – he was not personally responsible for it. I indicated that I thought he was. He said he was not personally responsible for it and he took action against those who were responsible.”
Khashoggi, a self-exiled writer and critic of the regime based in the U.S., was killed and dismembered during a visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. A U.S. intelligence assessment concluded that the crown prince approved the operation that resulted in his grisly death.
Bin Salman denied having prior knowledge of the plot, but did later say he accepted responsibility as it had taken place on his watch. Eight Saudis are serving prison terms ranging from seven to 20 years for their alleged roles.
The controversy over Khashoggi’s death hung heavily over Biden’s weekend visit to Jeddah, because while campaigning for the White House Biden had pledged to treat the Saudi regime as a “pariah.”
After the trip was announced – against the backdrop of soaring gas prices blamed on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – Biden played down the scheduled meeting with bin Salman, saying his main reason for going to Jeddah was Saturday’s summit of Gulf states and partners.
When Faisal, the foreign minister, was asked during a press conference for the Saudis’ take on the human rights-related portion of the Biden-bin Salman talks, he responded at some length.
He said the crown prince had responded to Biden’s remarks about Khashoggi by saying that “this crime, while very unfortunate and abhorrent, is something that the kingdom took very seriously, acted on in a way commensurate with its position as a responsible country.”
“These are issues – mistakes that happen in any country, including the U.S.”
“The crown prince pointed out that the U.S. has made its own mistakes, and has taken the necessary action to hold those responsible accountable and address these mistakes – just as the kingdom has.”
Faisal said Saudi Arabia had taken the necessary actions in response to Khashoggi’s murder.
“His royal highness made quite clear to President Biden that we have an expectation to see the U.S. behave in a similar responsible attitude,” he said, pointing to Abu Ghraib and the Kabul drone strike.
(The drone strike near Kabul airport was intended to target ISIS-K terrorists, three days after the group killed 13 U.S. military personnel and scores of Afghans civilians at the Kabul airport, amid the chaotic evacuation operation during the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan.)
“All of these are issues which demand accountability,” Faisal said. “The U.S. has shown historically that it holds itself accountable. The kingdom has done exactly the same.”

Faisal said bin Salman and Biden had then had a discussion about “values,” with the crown prince telling the president that “respect for human rights is a core value for the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, based on our Islamic beliefs and our Arab heritage.”
“Trying to impose your values on others is not going to be effective – it will get you a negative reaction.”
“The crown prince was quite clear with President Biden that in the end we have our own values. And those values – we are not going to align 100 percent with U.S. values ever because we are very, very proud of our own traditions, our own values, our own faith.”
Faisal concluded by saying that the challenges facing the international community demand cooperation, “and the only way we’re going to work together is if we respect each other, and that includes countries respecting each other’s values and sovereignty.”
“And I think the conversation was quite clear, and I believe President Biden took it to heart.”
Joe Biden Lashes Critics of His Fist Bump with Mohammed bin Salman
President Joe Biden lashed out Sunday at critics of his fist bump greeting with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“Why don’t you guys talk about something that matters?” Biden snapped after reporters asked him if he regretted the fist bump moment.
“I’m happy to answer a question that matters.”
The president spoke to reporters briefly after returning to the White House, but did not want to address his controversial moment with the crown prince, despite vowing during his presidential campaign to treat the Saudis as a pariah for the murder of dissident columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
On Friday, Biden laughed at reporters when asked to respond to his critics.
He insisted he brought up Khashoggi’s murder at the top of his meeting with Salman, saying he was “straightforward and direct” with the crown prince.
“He basically said that he — he was not personally responsible for it. I indicated that he probably was,” Biden said.
In an interview with CNN, Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir disagreed with Biden’s characterization of the meeting.
He countered the president took Saudi Arabia’s claims “at face value.”
When reporters asked Biden if he thought the Saudis were telling the truth about the meeting, he replied, “No.”

THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY OF PARASITE LAWYERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Bidens of all sorts are under federal investigation for tax evasion, money-laundering, and unregistered agent foreign ties, as this Politico report citing Hunter notes.

There it is. That's the issue. To begin, you have the corrupt family Biden. They've been scamming us and our system well for almost fifty years. The man is supposedly worth over 250 million dollars. How is this possible on his salary? It's not. So where did his wealth come from? Not from being a brilliant businessman. DAVID PRENTICE

JILL BIDEN KEEPS JOE DRUGGED UP SO THAT HE APPEARS LUCID IN PUBLIC
During Obama’s presidency, everyone joked that he selected Biden for VP because Biden’s incompetency insured that Obama would never be impeached. Yes, Obama was bad, but Biden would be worse. Now that Biden’s the president, that joke was 100% correct. Sadly, he’s multiple times worse than anyone imagined. Biden has more failures in one year than most presidents have in a lifetime – the Afghanistan debacle and surrender, huge crime spikes due to Democrat “defund the police” insanity, actively working to destroy the petroleum industry while supporting Russia’s, soaring inflation, open support and deference to China, and his weakness being directly responsible for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine -- to name just a few epic failures. As bad as Biden is as president, it’s obvious he selected Harris for the same reason that Obama selected him -- to insure he’s never removed from office.If you think things can’t possibly get worse, just look at Harris and you instantly realize – yes, they can. She would be multiple times worse than Joe.
PROFILE OF A SOCIOPATH:
With no moral code, no center, nothing matters. You just read what’s in the teleprompter and hit the sack by 7:00 while your degenerate son collects piles of cash for the family until you’re free to do it on your own. All you have to do is what you’re told, your handlers and the media will take care of the rest.
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
President Biden blamed congressional Republicans for record-high inflation while addressing the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in a recent speech in Philadelphia. Biden pathetically argued that his economic agenda, which relies on massive government spending, would help tame inflation. He also lamely — and falsely — blamed Republican obstruction of that agenda for the country's current economic woes. (It seems Biden is an alumnus of the Hillary Clinton Institute for Excellence in Blame-Shifting and Denouncement.)
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption.

President Joe Biden cautioned his brother Frank about potential business dealings during his campaign for president, according to a report.
“For Christ’s sake, watch yourself,” Biden said according to a report in Politico. “Don’t get sucked into something that would, first of all, hurt you.”
Politico cited a “person with knowledge of the conversation” in its report and said that Biden was “jocular and serious” in his comment to his brother.
Biden’s intention, Politico reports, was to protect his brother from “being hurt and vilified” because of his connections to the president.
Since Biden’s inauguration, questions about members of his family have been raised regarding their business dealings, especially after Republicans questioned his son Hunter Biden’s business deals with foreign countries during the campaign.
Frank Biden’s law firm, The Berman Law Group, promoted his relationship to President Biden in an advertisement on Inauguration Day.
“The two Biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing environmental issues to the forefront; the president-elect has vowed to rejoin the Paris Agreement and wants to set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets, for example,” the ad read.
A White House official responded to the story by warning that Joe Biden’s name should not be used in any commercial advertisement.
“It is this White House’s policy that the President’s name should not be used in connection with any commercial activities to suggest, or in any way that could reasonably understood to imply, his endorsement or support,” the official told CNBC in January.

Jim Jordan: Americans must know this about Hunter Biden
Naïve American people had no idea what they were getting with Biden: A senile, corrupt, debauched old man with a son who was a conduit for his dirty dealings and who has a personal life so disgusting it’s hard to write about it. That’s what the American media and the tech tyrants have done to America. ANDREA WIDBURG

In what appears to be the latest example of Biden family members using the government as a personal cash machine, President Joe Biden’s brother James got $600,000 in loans from the now-defunct healthcare startup Americore by promising his family name would secure funding from Middle Eastern countries.
“According to new information obtained by Committee Republicans and confirmed by court filings, during 2017, James Biden—the President’s brother—promised funding from ‘the Middle East’ for a business deal ‘based on his political connections’ because his last name ‘Biden’ could ‘open doors,’” writes House Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer (R-KY) in a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen demanding banking reports showing the cash transactions were flagged as “suspicious activity.”
“This is troubling and may implicate national security. In light of this new information, we again reiterate our previous requests for suspicious activity reports (SARs) connected to the Biden family,” wrote Comer.
“A recent filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky alleges James Biden fraudulently induced Americore Holdings, LLC to provide loans to him that were never repaid. According to the lawsuit, James Biden promised to use his political connections to benefit Americore and in exchange Americore lent him over $600,000. James Biden never delivered on his promise to secure funding from countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which forced the company into bankruptcy,” Oversight Committee Republicans reported in a statement.
“Ranking Member Comer is investigating the Biden family and associates’ suspicious foreign business transactions flagged by U.S. banks to determine if they threaten national security, but the U.S. Treasury Department is refusing to provide the requested information,” Committee Republicans report.
“It is crucial for the American people to learn the source of James Biden’s Middle East funding, to understand whether President Biden ever used ‘political connections’ to help James Biden or other family members enrich themselves at the expense of national security, and whether James Biden or other family members have ever improperly solicited funding in the Middle East,” wrote Member Comer.
So far, the Biden White House and Yellen have refused to release any Suspicious Activity Reports involving Biden family members and business associates.
“The Wall Street Journal reported that ‘Treasury has made SARs available for every request we’ve received, regardless of party, and will continue to do so.’ This is not true. You have not provided a single SAR requested by Committee Republicans. In order to ensure that Committee Republicans are able to review Biden family SARs in a timely manner, I request that Treasury prioritize its production of financial transactions that are related to the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar as soon as possible but no later than July 28, 2022.”

Saudis Contradicted Joe Biden More than Once During Gulf Visit
Saudi Arabian officials contradicted President Joe Biden on more than one occasion during his visit to the Gulf kingdom, the first time was with regards to oil production while the second involved a potential normalization agreement with Israel brokered by Washington — essentially undercutting the two primary goals for the trip.
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Saturday cast doubt on Biden’s promise to boost oil production and bring down prices, saying his country had almost reached its capacity and could increase production only nominally to 13 million barrels per day.
“After that the kingdom will not have any more capability to increase production,” said the de factor ruler, known as MBS.
Even that number is only expected to be reached by 2027.
The crown prince also denounced the Biden administration’s “unrealistic” goals for a greener future.

“Adopting unrealistic policies to reduce emissions by excluding main sources of energy will lead in coming years to unprecedented inflation and an increase in energy prices and rising unemployment and a worsening of serious social and security problems,” he said.
Later in the day, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said Riyadh’s decision to open its skies for all flight carriers had “nothing to do with diplomatic ties with Israel” and was “not in any way precursor to any further steps” towards a normalization deal.
His words were in stark contrast to Biden’s assertion a day earlier, when the American president said: “This is the first tangible step on the path of what I hope will eventually be a broader normalization of relations” between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh has also not yet agreed to allow direct flights between Israel and Saudi Arabia for Israeli-Muslim pilgrims, contradicting another promise by the Biden administration.
In a further demonstration of the distance between the two allies, Prince Faisal said, “there was no discussion about a GCC-Israeli defense alliance or anything of the sort” at the Jeddah summit.
Washington has for several months extolled an air defense alliance between Gulf states and Israel – a kind of Middle East NATO to counter Iran — but the Saudi foreign minister’s remarks seem to make it clear that that is little more than a pipe dream.
True to form, the fist-bumping president didn’t miss an opportunity to make another verbal gaffe, just as he did a day earlier in Israel.
Biden spoke of the “selfishness” of American troops serving in the Middle East before correcting himself and saying, “selflessness.”
In Jerusalem on Thursday, Biden referred to the “truth and honor of the Holocaust,” before correcting himself and saying “horror of the Holocaust.”
