At TIME magazine gala, comedian Hasan Minhaj calls out Jared Kushner to his face for his ties to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman; suggests that he WhatsApp the crown prince and tell him to release jailed activist Loujain al-Hathloul.

In February,for the first time since the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last October. It's not clear if the two discussed Khashoggi.
Minhaj has been openly critical of Saudi Arabia in the past, most recently in a 2018 episode of his Netflix show"Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj" in whichafter Khashoggi's murder. In January, Saudi authorities filed a complain that led Netflix to remove the episode from its platform in the country. The episode, which is still available on Netflix outside of Saudi Arabia and on YouTube, was cited as one of the reasons"Patriot Act""A lot of times, we as comedians, we get a lot of credit," Minhaj added during his toast."People come up to us and they go, 'Thank you so much for pointing a light on that issue.' That's all we're doing. We're pointing. And I just want to say thank you to Loujain for being the light.
