The upcoming release of intelligence on the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi will be a step toward ensuring accountability, President Joe Biden's administration said Thursday.

"It's an important step in the direction of transparency. Transparency, as it often is, is an element of accountability," State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.
