Hostage foundation rescinds invitation to Sec. of State Mike Pompeo because of what it said was the Trump administration's inadequate response to the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is interviewed by Maria Bartiromo during her "Mornings with Maria Bartiromo" program on the Fox Business Network, in New York Friday, April 5, 2019. A foundation that advocates for the safety of journalists and the release of Americans held hostage abroad has rescinded an award it planned to present to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, prompting him to accuse the organization on Friday of bowing to media bias against him.
In its statement, the foundation thanked Pompeo for his "extraordinary efforts" to bring Americans home and expressed gratitude for the administration's success in doing so. He did not specify who may have applied pressure and defended the Trump administration's efforts to gain the release of Americans held overseas.
Khashoggi, who wrote columns critical of the Saudi government while living in self-imposed exile in the U.S., was killed inside the country's consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, by Saudi agents with ties to the country's de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
