WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 09th February, 2019) US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo provided Congress with an update on journalist Jamal Khashoggi's killing, a State Department spokesperson told Sputnik.
The White House came under fire earlier in the day when it appeared they would not meet Friday's congressional deadline on determining whether Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman ordered the killing of Khashoggi.
"We have consulted and corresponded with Congress regularly since Jamal Khashoggi's October 2 killing. We can confirm that the Secretary provided an update today," the spokesperson said on Friday. "We will continue to consult with Congress and work to hold accountable those responsible for Jamal Khashoggi's killing."
