What was the deal with him? He is being martyred as a hero journalist since his assassination by Saudi Arabia.

The problem I have is that his father, Adnan Khashoggi, was an arms dealer that worked closely with the CIA. So my assumption is that he must have something going on with him as well. I don't know what though.

he was a CIA asset working with one of the factions of the Saudi royal family, here's a well-sourced video essay on the subject

Aha! That's why this story has such legs in the media! I always thought it was strange how much attention it got.
