Nov. 27 (UPI) -- White House press secretary Sarah Sanders is scheduled to take questions from reporters in an on-camera briefing Tuesday afternoon.

The briefing will begin at 1 p.m. EST.


Sanders will likely face questions about the President Donald Trump's stance on Jamal Khashoggi's death, the Mississippi runoff for U.S. Senate, the caravan crisis at the Mexican border and the wildfires that have killed more than 80 people in California.

Trump has distanced himself from the CIA's assessment that the Saudi crown prince knew of the plot to kill Khashoggi. In a statement, Trump said, "Maybe he did, maybe he didn't."

Trump campaigned strongly over the weekend for controversial Mississippi Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Tuesday, She faces off against Mike Espy in a runoff. Espy could be the first black elected to the Senate from Mississippi since the post Civil War era.
