Amid a growing backlash toward Saudi Arabia in the global community over Jamal khashoggi murder, Prince Al Waleed bin Talal, one of the most influential Saudi businessmen in the world and a member of the Saudi royal family appeared on an interview on Fox News on Sunday to defend MBS and his government. Prince Al Waleed was detained in Ritz Carlton earlier in 2017 as a part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s crackdown on corruption. He was released in January 2018 after reportedly giving up almost half of his fortune to the Crown Prince.
