Gina Haspel, the director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency, is reported to be traveling to Turkey late Monday to assist in “an investigation” over the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Multiple U.S. news agencies are reporting the news of Haspel's trip to Turkey, as government security agencies examine what role Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman played in the case.
