The White House declined to comment on Kushner's role in the administration's response to Khashoggi's disappearance. That time and place didn't appear imminent on Wednesday as the administration continued to defer to an ongoing Saudi investigation into Khashoggi's disappearance. As the crisis over Khashoggi's disappearance mounted last week, Kushner was at the President's side. He and other senior administration officials have insisted in phone calls to senior Saudi officials that Riyadh investigate the matter. Prince Mohammed has also been welcomed to the White House for talks, including during an American tour that included stops in New York, Hollywood and Silicon Valley.
