Kushner: US still in 'fact-finding phase' in Khashoggi's death

White House adviser Jared Kushner on Monday broke his public silence following the death of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, saying the Trump administration is still in the "fact-finding phase."

"With regards to the situation in Saudi Arabia, I’d say that right now as an administration we’re more in the fact-finding phase and we’re obviously getting as many facts as we can from the different places and then we’ll determine which facts are credible," Kushner said during a CNN event.

Kushner has faced widespread scrutiny in recent days over his reported close relationship with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has been accused of orchestrating the Washington Post contributor's death.

The president's son-in-law told CNN's Van Jones that he has advised the crown prince to "be transparent."
