Pompeo Dodges Repeatedly When Pressed on if He Believes MBS Is Responsible for Khashoggi

‘It is absolutely America’s intent to hold everyone accountable’

EXCERPT:

KILMEADE: "We know the prince knows, right? You looked him in the eye. You know that he knows."
POMPEO: "I have spoken to the king, King Salman. I have spoken to the crown prince a number of times since the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, and it is absolutely America’s intent to hold everyone accountable who was responsible for this."
KILMEADE: "So that’s yes. When you looked him in the eye and he denied it, did you believe him?"
POMPEO: "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia decides who is running the country. I think this is what the president said yesterday. We are working closely with the kingdom to make sure that America is protected. That’s our interest there."
EARHARDT: "The CIA says they’re highly confident that the Saudi crown prince did order the murder of Khashoggi.”
POMPEO: "Some of the reporting you’ve seen on that has been inaccurate."
KILMEADE: "Is that inaccurate?"
EARHARDT: "is that false."
POMPEO: "We all know they’re still working on this. This is still a developing set of facts with respect to the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. The intelligence community is working diligently on that. The direct evidence -- this is what I said before, the direct evidence isn’t yet available, may have shown up tomorrow, may have show up overnight, I haven’t seen it. but President Trump --" [crosstalk]
EARHARDT: "Someone have to pay the price though. It's so brutal. Apparently these audiotapes are awful." 
POMPEO: "The Saudis have already paid the price. The folks who actually committed the murder we held accountable."
