Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Under Kash Patel, almost a quarter of the F.B.I.’s more than 13,000 agents have been assigned to work on the apprehension of undocumented immigrants. Hundreds more have been sent to support local police in cities that Donald Trump has targeted. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/2F1Z79
Kash Patel’s Acts of Service
The F.B.I. director isn’t just enforcing the President’s agenda at the Bureau—he’s seeking retribution for its past investigations of Donald Trump.

This is a truly brutal opinion, from that opening quote on down. Between that and the timing and some technical things about it (constitutional, not just VRA), this is really jamming SCOTUS as hard as possible to let it stand.
I wouldn't bet on it, but it wouldn't be totally shocking if it works.
