President Donald Trump said his administration has asked the Turkish government for audio or video recordings of Jamal Khashoggi’s death in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, and that he expects to learn what happened to the journalist by the end of the week.
“We have asked for it if it exists,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, when asked if he’d requested the alleged recordings. The New York Times reported that Turkish officials have said there are recordings of Khashoggi’s murder and dismemberment within the consulate.
