Salah Khashoggi, the son of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, left Saudi Arabia on Thursday for the United States, presumably in Washington, CBS News said, according to a source close to Saudi leaders. Another source said the Turks had been of great help in persuading the Kingdom to allow Salah Khashoggi and his family to leave the country, and the State Department provided visas. The former Khashoggi, columnist for the Washington Post and frequent critic of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was killed by Saudi officials at the Istanbul consulate in Turkey earlier this month.

The Saudi government admitted Saturday that Khashoggi was killed in his consulatesaying that his death was part of a rendition that went wrong. On Thursday, history changed and the Saudi media acknowledged that Khashoggi's death was premeditated. The Crown Prince, known as the MBS, denied any involvement in Khashoggi's death, although the Turkish government claimed that his assassination was ordered at the highest levels of the Saudi government.

CIA Director Gina Haspel visited Turkey earlier this week. According to the Washington Post, the Washington Post reportedly listened to recordings allegedly recorded by the Turks as an audio recording of Khashoggi's murder. She was put in brief President Trump during his trip Thursday. The State Department has already announced that he cancels the visas of 21 Saudis suspected of being related to the death of Khashoggi.

Salah Khashoggi and his brother, Sahel, visited MBS on Tuesday and were photographed meeting the Crown Prince and his father, King Salman, by the Saudi public media.

Salah Khashoggi, who is a dual US and Saudi citizen, and his family will gather with other members of the Khashoggi family in the United States, according to Human Rights Watch.
