Mohammed bin Salman: Saudi leader given US immunity over Khashoggi killing
I think the headline is a bit misleading. &quot;given&quot; immunity to me implied that there was some deal or something where the US government proactively gave MBS immunity.<p>What happened was the US State Dept <i>determined</i> he had immunity due to his current role as Saudi Arabia PM. Thus, my understanding is that this would be standard diplomatic immunity, no? And if MBS ever stopped being PM he would lose that immunity, as MBS only became PM <i>after</i> the killing took place (not sure if this part is correct).
