Pompeo says US ‘not covering up’ Khashoggi murder

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo denies Washington is “covering up” the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and promised further action.

“America is not covering up for a murder,” Pompeo tells reporters in Budapest when asked about criticism by a senior Democrat.

The remarks come after US President Donald Trump missed a Congress deadline to determine who ordered Khashoggi’s assassination amid new revelations that Saudi Arabia’s crown prince spoke of going after the writer “with a bullet.”
