In the interview, which was broadcast on Sunday, Saad al-Jabri warned that Crown Prince Mohammed, also known as MBS, was a “murderer” with “infinite resources”. “I’m here to sound the alarm about a psychopath, a murderer, in the Middle East with infinite resources, who is a threat to his people, to Americans and to the planet,” al-Jabri told CBS News. “A psychopath with no empathy, no emotion, has never learned from his experience. And we have witnessed atrocities and crimes committed by this killer,” he said. Al-Jabri worked as a longtime adviser to Mohammed bin Nayef, who was ousted as Saudi crown prince in June 2017 and replaced by MBS. Al-Jabri left Saudi Arabia for Canada in 2017. In 2020, al-Jabri sued MBS in a Washington DC court, alleging that the prince sent a hit squad to kill him in Toronto in 2018 – two weeks after Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed in Istanbul. Al-Jabri told CBS News that he expects to be killed by MBS one day because he has access to sensitive information about the government and the royal family. “This guy won’t rest until he sees me dead,” al-Jabri said. The comments come days before Biden is due to visit Jeddah, Saudi Arabia this Friday. He is expected to meet with the crown prince to discuss “a range of bilateral, regional and global issues,” the White House said last month. In a Washington Post op-ed published over the weekend, Biden defended his meeting with MBS, who US intelligence said was responsible for ordering Khashoggi’s assassination. “As president, it is my job to keep our country strong and safe,” Biden wrote. “We need to counter Russia’s aggression, put ourselves in the best possible position to overcome China and work for greater stability in a consequential region of the world.” Al Jabri did not comment on the Biden visit in his interview. The White House did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
