Saudi Arabia on Saturday confirmed for the first time that journalist Jamal Khashoggi died in the kingdom's consulate in Turkey, claiming his death occurred following a "fist fight" gone bad.

Saudi Arabia's King Salman has ordered a committee of top government agencies to further investigate what happened to Khashoggi and to issue a full report on the subject within a month. The move buys the Saudis time as a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers continues to exert pressure on the Trump administration to sanction Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi's death.

The kingdom's official foreign affairs ministry Twitter account published a series of tweets that said Khashoggi's death was preceded by a fist fight between him and others inside the Saudi consulate in Turkey, where he was last seen on Oct. 2.
