According to The New York Times report, Kushner advised Saudi prince about how to “weather the storm” after the Saudi journalist’s murder.
The report said Kushner and Salman have continued to chat informally since the early period of Trump’s presidency despite White House protocol that the National Security Council staff is required to be present during all phone calls.

Khashoggi was killed and dismembered by Saudi agents on 2 October in Istanbul.
