CIA chief Haspel to brief Congress over Khashoggi murder
The head of the CIA will now brief Congress on Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder.
Director Gina Haspel is to talk to Senate leaders on Tuesday.
She was absent from last week's briefing by the secretaries of state and defence, angering some in Congress.
Khashoggi was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October. The CIA has concluded Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman "probably ordered" the killing.
The Saudis have charged 11 people but deny that the crown prince was involved.
The CIA has evidence he exchanged messages with Saud al-Qahtani, who allegedly oversaw the murder.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defence Secretary James Mattis had told senators last week there was no direct evidence of the crown prince's involvement.
President Donald Trump has said the CIA findings on the crown prince were not conclusive. On 20 November he said: "It could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event - maybe he did and maybe he didn't.
