CIA chief to brief senators on Khashoggi death

CIA

Director Gina Haspel is expected to brief Senate leaders on the slaying of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The CIA director was to meet Republican and Democratic Senate leaders, as well as the chairmen and ranking senators on the key national security committees later yesterday.

Senators from both parties were upset that Haspel was not part of a recent closed-door session with top administration officials about Khashoggi’s killing and the US response.
