The lawsuit filed on October 20, 2020 by Hatice Cengiz and DAWN against Mohammed bin Salman in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia was dismissed by Judge John D. Bates on December 6, 2022 on head-of-state immunity grounds, following the Biden administration's suggestion of immunity, although Bates acknowledged credible allegations of bin Salman's involvement.
