The cases in US and Canadian courts centre on corruption allegations levelled by state-owned Saudi companies against Saad Aljabri, a former spymaster who long worked closely with American officials on covert counterterrorism operations.
A rare US Justice Department filing in a Massachusetts court in April noted Aljabri's intention to "Describe information concerning alleged national security activities".
A Canadian court subsequently announced a worldwide freeze of Aljabri's assets.
In order to prove his innocence, the court would need to probe Sakab's finances, including how they were used to "Finance sensitive programs" operated in partnership with the CIA, the US National Security Agency and the US Defense Department, said a filing by Aljabri.
The Aljabri source acknowledged any exposure could endanger "Those who participated in operations, reveal sources and methods, and hinder... similar operations in the future".
A source close to the Saudi leadership repeated multi-billion dollar corruption allegations, while accusing Aljabri of "Poisoning the Saudi-US relationship".
Several US officials who have worked alongside Aljabri have voiced support for him, with some acknowledging that he was privy to sensitive information.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
