TURKEY: The director of the CIA has reportedly listened to an audio recording of the interrogation and killing of Jamal Khashoggi, reported the Independent.
Gina Haspel departed for a trip to Turkey on Monday and people familiar with her meetings there told The Washington Post she had heard the tapes.
Saudi Arabia‘s powerful crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, claimed on Wednesday that the journalist’s killers would be brought to justice, before warning anyone against trying to “manipulate” the crisis to drive a wedge between the kingdom and Turkey.
His comments came after Donald Trump said that if anyone in the kingdom’s power structure had known about the plot, “it would be” its de facto leader, the crown prince.
