Having done business with them in the past does not mean that he has financial ties to them. Financial ties, IMHO, would mean he stands to lose from current investments.

What’s your point? Businessmen doing business? Or he didn’t bow to or hold hands with the camel humper? I don’t get it, newbie.

Breaking News: One of Donald Trump’s employees once bought gasoline for his limousine - and that gasoline was refined from Saudi Arabian oil.

This and other details of Trump’s business dealings with the Saudi government coming up at the top of the next segment.

It seems like it is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS what happened to this Saudi and Muslim Brotherhood operative, acting under the cover of a “journalist”. He was a MB supporter, the Sauds hate the MB. This is up there with “moderate in Syria” dies.

No problem. I remember being a member before 9/11 and then life got in the way and I came back in 2016. I do need to donate though.

The holding, listed at just under 5 percent of Fox voting shares in the third quarter, has fallen to zero, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Murdoch has long counted on Alwaleed’s support when challenged over his grip on companies in his media empire...

Alwalweed was one of the top holders of Fox’s Class B shares, which carry voting rights. He dramatically reduced his holding in Murdoch’s News Corp. publishing company almost three years ago and has since exited the stock...
