Vice President Mike Pence promised to "get to the bottom" for Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance.
"It's important that the world knows the truth. If in fact Mr. Khashoggi was murdered, we need to know who was responsible. We need to hold those responsible," he said. "We're going to get to the bottom of it."
Pence, who is in Georgia today, said Khashoggi's job as a journalist adds to the importance of the case.
"It's even more important that he was a member of a free and independent press. And any loss of life is grievous, any act of violence that claims a life is to be condemned. But this was also an assault on a free and independent press," Pence said.
He added: "So, we’re gonna demand answers, the world deserves answers."
