Summary

In the fall of 2017, Jamal Khashoggi secretly met with a former FBI agent working for the legal team suing the Saudi government for alleged complicity in the terror attacks of 9/11. Although he had for years been a loyal defender of his government, Khashoggi now suggested he might be willing to help the families of 9/11 victims demanding accountability from the Saudi regime. Did the Saudis know about his surprise offer? And what are the questions still unanswered about the role of some Saudi officials in allegedly helping to facilitate the attacks. In this special bonus episode of Conspiracyland-- Khashoggi and the 9/11 lawsuit-- we dive into those issues with interviews with former FBI agent Catherine Hunt, Jim Kreindler, the chief lawyers for the families of 9/11 victims and legendary former agent Ali Soufan, who spent years investigating Al Qaeda.

she learned after the 9-11 attacks. Two of the hijackers had been hanging out just blocks from

agent and a radical imam at a Saudi government-funded mosque.

I worked out at a gym down in Venice Boulevard. Right in that area, that neighborhood is the mosque,

the restaurant, very close to that is the Saudi Embassy. It really struck me as,

gosh, all this stuff was going on right here. Who knew?

That led Hunt down a somewhat unexpected path after she left the Bureau.

Some former colleagues had given her name to the lawyers representing the families of 9-11

1:29.3

victims who were suing the Saudi government. The very same lawsuit, the Saudis and their lobbyists

1:34.7

in Washington had done everything they could to derail. The lawyers asked Hunt to help them

1:39.9

reinvestigate the events that led up to 9-11 and the role that some Saudi officials may have had

in assisting or encouraging the attacks. Hunt was intrigued by the challenge. And in late October
