The widow of journalist Khashoggi called on former US Secretary of State Pompeo to stop lying about the deceased

The widow of the murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Hanan Elatr, criticized the statement about the late husband, which former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made in his new book. Hanan Elatr said on NBC that Mike Pompeo did not know her husband. He should be silent and stop spreading lies about Khashoggi, the woman said.

Hanan Elatr also called Pompeo's actions unacceptable and noted that she would silence all people spreading false information about Khashoggi. Recall that Mike Pompeo, who is considered one of the likely candidates for the US presidency in 2024, wrote about the late Khashoggi in his new book, Never Back Down: Fighting for the America I Love. This book is due out today.



In the book, Pompeo lambasted media coverage of the Khashoggi affair. According to the former secretary of state, the media tried to portray the late journalist as "Saudi Bob Woodward" (a well-known American investigative journalist, still living and working today).

Recall that Jamal Khashoggi was killed under strange circumstances in the Saudi embassy in Turkey. The U.S. authorities later accused senior Saudi leaders, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, of being involved in the journalist's death. The latter circumstance led to a certain deterioration in relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States, having a negative impact on American influence in the Persian Gulf.

      With this Khashoggi, Americans are digging a hole for themselves. They cannot remain silent, and in Saudi Arabia they do not forgive insults.
      So it turns out that Pompeo would have been better off keeping quiet

      in his new book, Never Back Down: Fighting for the America I Love.
      American politicians love to write books - prestigious, and most importantly profitable. And they try to give the book titles to emphasize his patriotism, and most importantly, it was immediately clear thanks to whom America still exists. Mike Pompeo did not miss such an opportunity either.

      Widow of slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi Hanan Elatr criticizes

      From the article it is difficult to understand what is wrong in this book of this Pompeii. Either it was too well lit, or vice versa, it was too bad.
      But about the "widow" herself ...
      Still an aunt. His family did not know that he was married to her. She announced that she was his wife after his death. According to her version, she married him on June 2, and on October 2 he went to the embassy in Turkey for permission to marry a completely different woman, where he was killed. He did not receive permission to marry this Hanan, neither did she.
      But, as I understand it, we are talking about the fact that Saudi Arabia recognized the fact of the murder and imprisoned 3 people for it, and five were sentenced to death, so there is a question of paying compensation for the murder.
