* Top Biden administration officials met with a brother to Saudi Arabia's powerful crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman
* Prince Khalid bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's deputy defense minister, met with members of President Biden's security team
* The Biden administration did not publicly disclose the visit Press secretary
* Jen Psaki said the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi would be discussed in the sit downs but she didn't give details
Top Biden administration officials on Tuesday hosted a brother to Saudi Arabia's powerful crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, in the highest-level such visit known since the U.S. made public intelligence findings linking the crown prince to the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The Biden administration did not publicly disclose the visit by Prince Khalid bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's deputy defense minister, in advance.
President Joe Biden had pledged to make a 'pariah' of the kingdom's crown prince during his presidential campaign over Khashoggi's killing and other abuses, but his administration has instead emphasized U.S. strategic interests with Saudi Arabia.
