Saudi Arabias Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman personally bribed Donald Trump with $1bn during the US presidents visit to Riyadh in May, an anonymous Saudi commentator, who uses the Twitter handle Mujtahidd, has claimed.
Bin Salman, then-deputy crown prince, was able to win the US administration's favour in his power struggle with his cousin Mohammed bin Nayef, who was heir to the throne until he was deposed in June.
Middle East Eye has not been able to verify Mujtahidd's allegations at the time of publication. Mutjahidd has almost two million followers on Twitter and claims to have reliable sources close to the royal palace.
Mujtahidd claimed on Monday that Trumps visit to Saudi Arabia changed Washingtons stance on the competition between bin Salman and bin Nayef, forcing the US to take the 32-year-olds side.

(6,094 posts)Now he is using the US Military as a private killing machine for the highest bidder be it the Saudis or whoever wants to eliminate someone. Remember there was a SECOND attempt on someone that did not work and that person had nothing to do with the US but was a target of MBS. I believe he was in on the Kashoggi murder also. A fucking billion dollars for Solemini's head. Erik Prince deep in the shit as getting Dumb Donnie to act on Murder, Inc so he can pad his bank account. Where is the Billion stashed? Follow the $$ Trail. Is this the reason he is turning the world upside down to hide his taxes? I believe the money is in some crooked bank doing lots of money laundering.
A Billion $$ in a mysterious boat in Jedda while the Dumb Donnie was in Saudia Arabia. Right after that Dumb Donnie praised MBS for cleaning house and putting all his rivals in jail.
If this is all true and I have no reason to doubt it the house will come tumbling down with all the rotten corrupt actors in this American Tragedy.

(2,227 posts)If it turns out to be true (I would bet that it is), great.
If it doesn't, until they prove it, it will still be considered true. Win/Win
