Did Bill Clinton meet with Saudi Crown Prince this Week?

From an alternate-reality noozesite comes this:

Clinton Gets Mideast Role, Meets with Crown Prince Abdullah

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal revealed Saturday night that president Bill Clinton met with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah in Texas on Friday, in an apparent reversal of previous bush administration statements suggesting that Clinton would play no role in the current Mideast crisis.

Al-Faisal confirmed the Clinton-Abdullah meeting during this exchange with Faux Nooze Channel's Rita Cosby:

COSBY: In the last few days I understand that you and your team have met with some former presidents down there in Texas. Bush senior, the father of the current "president". And also former president Bill Clinton.

AL-FAISAL: Indeed. Indeed.

COSBY: Tell me about those meetings and what role are they playing.

AL-FAISAL: Well, they're both great friends of the crown prince. He was very happy to meet with them. He was very happy to reminisce with them on the times when they worked together. And they had good long discussions - both extending (to) perhaps three hours of talks. They talked about, of course, serious talk - the situation in the Middle East.

COSBY: Are they playing an advisory role - or any sort of advisory role?

AL-FAISAL: Well, no - we don't know about that, that they are playing an advisory role for the government of the United States. But, as for the talks, it was an exchange of views between old friends and that was it.
