Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was urging Senators to hold off on an effort that would end U.S. involvement in a Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen, saying after a closed-door briefing a diplomatic breakthrough is close: It's something we have diplomatically been striving for for months and we think we're on the cusp of that.

But Senators who heard from Pompeo and defense Secretary James Mattis said they were unconvinced and suggested growing support for a resolution to end U.S. support, especially after the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
