U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday said investigations into the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi were still ongoing but that the United States would hold those found responsible accountable for his death.
Pompeo's comments to Fox News in an interview come hours before CIA Director Gina Haspel is set to brief U.S. House of Representative leaders behind closed doors on Khashoggi's death at Saudi consulate Turkey in October.
Pompeo also praised the new government of Mexico on immigration issues and said the two sides have discussed the importance of stemming the flow of illegal migrants before they get to the U.S. border.
"The incoming administration's been great," Pompeo said in an interview with Fox News, citing conversations about how to control traffic from Guatemala and Honduras along Mexico's southern border. "We have to control that border that is ours and they have to control that border that is theirs."
