Washington (CNN) Hatice Cengiz, fiancée of the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, has told the White House that she is now prepared to meet with President Donald Trump.

Trump invited Cengiz to the White House shortly after Khashoggi's murder, but she rejected the invite at the time, telling Turkish TV that she did not believe that the US President genuinely wanted to get to the bottom of her fiancée's death.

"Communication has been sent to the White House stating that I have accepted the invitation by the President," Cengiz told CNN's Christiane Amanpour Thursday.

Cengiz is currently in Washington to testify before a House subcommittee.

"Before I can go and visit him, President Trump needs to renew his invitation," she said. "I'd like to meet him. I'd like to tell him what my relationship with Jamal was like at the time."
