Mnuchin to Attend Saudi Conference as Media Outlets Drop Out

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says he's still planning to attend a Saudi conference, despite several media and corporate sponsors pulling out.  Mnuchin told CNBC  he might reconsider  if more information comes out about the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, but said Saudi Arabia has been a good partner for the U.S. on counter-terrorism.

Turkish officials have accused the Saudi government of killing Khashoggi, a prominent Saudi journalist and dissident.  The New York Times, CNN and CNBC are among the  groups pulling sponsorship  of the Future Investment Initiative conference over Khashoggi's disappearance.
