BUDAPEST, Hungary — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo denied that his administration is “covering up” Saudi Arabia’s murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi after lawmakers in both parties condemned his latest response to Congress.

“America is not covering up for a murder,” Pompeo told reporters Monday at the U.S. embassy in Hungary’s capital. “America has taken more action in response to the tragic murder of Jamal Khashoggi and will continue to take more action, continue our investigation.”
