The Biden administration’s decision to shield Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman from a federal lawsuit in the death of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi was justified and in “keeping with the practice and lawsuits involving foreign heads of state,” Sen. Tom Cotton said Sunday, agreeing with the White House’s argument.

“It would have been a major break of those customs to not granted that kind of — grant that kind of immunity,” the Arkansas Republican said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” adding that Saudi Arabia is “far from the worst abuser of human rights.”

Iran, he pointed out, has “massacred protesters in the streets,” and China is also problematic with what it “does to harvest organs or commit genocide against ethnic minorities.”
