The State Department is denying news reports claiming Turkish officials shared with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo an audio recording of Washington Post Jamal Khashoggi's alleged murder inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert issued a statement Thursday evening denying Pompeo had heard or read a transcript of any such recording minutes after ABC News reported a senior Turkish officials had claimed that Pompeo heard the recording.
"Secretary Pompeo has neither heard a tape nor has he seen a transcript related to Jamal Khashoggi’s disappearance," Nauert said following the publication of ABC's report.
