Khashoggi [resided in the US and has two US citizen children] (edit - was not a permanent resident).

He had developed standing in the US, including journalistic circles (he was a journalist, after all).

His murder and subsequent coverup attempts were ludicrously brazen.

It [almost certainly] involved the Saudi crown prince who has been courted by the president's children/advisors.

Mohammed bin Salman was also feted by numerous tech industry leaders on his U.S. tour: Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman, Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin & Sundar Pichai, Jack Dorsey, the list goes on and on.

He lived part of the time in the US, but he wasn't a US resident or a US "person" eligible for US consular assistance under the Vienna Convention.

My mistake, he wasn't a US permanent resident.

He was merely a person residing in the US.
