The Price of Freedom for Saudi Arabia’s Richest Man: $6 Billion

"Saudi authorities are demanding at least $6 billion from Saudi Prince al-Waleed bin Talal to free him from detention, people familiar with the matter said, potentially putting the global business empire of one of the world’s richest men at risk.

The 62-year-old prince was one of the dozens of royals, government officials and businesspeople rounded up early last month in a wave of arrests the Saudi government billed as the first volley in Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s campaign against widespread graft.

The Saudi government has disclosed few details of its allegations against the accused, many of whom have since been released from detention in a makeshift prison at the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton after negotiating financial settlements. The $6 billion Saudi officials are demanding from Prince al-Waleed, a large stakeholder in Western businesses like Twitter, is among the highest figures they have sought from those arrested, some of the people familiar with the matter said."

From Dec 5, but pertinent to todays happenings with JA:

A congressman who met face-to-face with WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange after the latter’s website received and released thousands of Democratic Party emails allegedly sourced by state-sponsored hackers said he’ll discuss the meeting with members of the House Intelligence Committee investigating Russia’s role in the 2016 U.S. presidential race.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, California Republican, will appear before the House panel later this month to answer questions concerning his August 2017 meeting in London with Mr. Assange, the lawmaker told The Los Angeles Times.

“As you can see, I am not worried,” Mr. Rohrabacher said Monday. “I have no worries at all. Once the public understands that the regular media has given them a false impression of my meetings with Russians, it’ll be fine,” he told The Times.

WikiLeaks published emails throughout the 2016 election cycle belonging to both the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta, the chairman of the party’s nominee for president, Hillary Clinton.

The U.S. intelligence community has determined that the emails were initially obtained by hackers working on behalf of the Russian government, but Mr. Rohrabacher – the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats – left an Aug. 16 meeting with Mr. Assange convinced otherwise.
