CIA briefs House leaders on Khashoggi as Senate mulls votes 1 SHARES Share it! Two people familiar with the meeting say House leaders are receiving a briefing from Haspel Wednesday morning, a day before Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis are to brief the full House on the killing. But a smaller group of senators leaving a separate briefing with Haspel days later said there was “zero chance” the crown prince wasn’t involved. U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that the crown prince must have at least known of the plot, but Trump has been reluctant to pin the blame. “It could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event,” Trump said in a lengthy statement Nov. 20.
