We're pausing our coverage
Thanks for following our coverage on what has been a busy day in Washington.
We're pausing our live updates for now. Before we go, here's a run through the key developments we brought you.
Trump: Don't 'embarrass' Saudi crown prince
Donald Trump welcomed Mohammed bin Salman to the White House in what was the Saudi crown prince's first visit to the US since the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
The pair started by talking up investment, with bin Salman telling the US president that a pledge to invest $600bn in the country could soon rise to around $1trn.
But a question soon came on the killing of Khashoggi as Trump took over.
Watch: Trump anger over Saudi question
"As far as this gentlemen is concerned, he's done a phenomenal job," Trump said, referring to the crown prince.
"You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about, whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen, but he knew nothing about it and we can leave it at that.
"You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question."
Bin Salman also responded to the question from the reporter.
" I feel painful about, you know, the families of 9/11 but, you know, we have to focus on reality," he said.
"Reality based on CIA documents and based on what documents that Bin Laden used Saudi people and that event for one main purpose, to destroy this relation, to destroy the American-Saudi relation.
"Whoever [is] buying that, that means they are helping Bin Laden's purpose of destroying this relation."

Epstein bill moves to Trump's desk
Both the House of Representatives and the US Senate overwhelmingly backed a bill ordering the US Justice Department to release all files it holds on the deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
There were 427 votes in favour of passing the bill in the House, with one representative voting against.
Just hours after that result was announced, the bill unanimously passed through the Senate, meaning it now only requires a signature from Trump.
The US president has already said he would sign it and give them"everything" on Epstein - a remarkable reversal of fortune for the bill since it reached the necessary number of signatures last Wednesday.
Survivors speak out
Before the votes were held, Epstein survivors gathered at the steps of the Capitol to speak in front of the media.
The first was Haley Robson, who addressed Donald Trump directly.
The avowed Republican said she was sceptical about his sudden shift after the US president pledged to release all the Epstein files, having previously criticised the vote.
She said:
"To the president of the United States of America, who is not here today... I want to relay this message to you: I am traumatised. I am not stupid. I am traumatised. I am not stupid. You have put us through so much stress."
Another survivor, Jena-Lisa Jones, addressed Trump's announcement that he would investigate various Democrats who were friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
She said:
"I beg you, President Trump, please stop making this political. It is not about you, President Trump. You are our president. Please start acting like it. Show some class. Show some real leadership. Show that you actually care about people other than yourself. I voted for you, but your behaviour on this issue has been a national embarrassment."
