State Dept. Spox on Khashoggi: ‘We Don’t Have the Facts Yet So We’re Going to Hold Back on Our Comments’

‘We don’t have that information at this point right now’

EXCERPT:

NAUERT: "The Secretary released a statement earlier this week. The Vice President has talked about this, the President has talked about this, we’re all concerned about his whereabouts. We don’t have any information on his whereabouts right now or what happened to him. As you can see, any time you turn on the news, you open the newspaper, there’s a lot of speculation and a ton of rumors out there. We’re making determinations and watching this for facts. We don’t have the facts yet. So we’re going to hold back on our comments until we have concrete information that the U.S. Government can share. We don’t have that information at this point right now. An investigation, as our understanding is, is underway and we’re not going to get ahead of that."
