Saad Almadi Freed from Saudi Jail

Saad Almadi, a 75-year-old American citizen, is set to be released from Saudi Arabia after being jailed for critical social media posts. His son, Ibrahim Almadi, confirmed the news following a meeting between former President Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Almadi was initially sentenced to 19 years on terrorism charges, later reduced to cyber crimes, due to tweets critical of the royal family and mentioning journalist Jamal Khashoggis murder. The family thanks Trumps administration, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and NGOs for securing his release, hoping support extends to others still held. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
