Jamal Khashoggi murder tapes do not implicate crown prince: US
Bolton emphasised that Trump has demanded a full investigation from the Saudis and for those responsible to be held accountable.
Singapore: Audio linked to Jamal Khashoggi´s murder inside Saudi Arabia´s Istanbul consulate does not implicate Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, US National Security Advisor John Bolton said Tuesday, citing others who have heard the tapes.
Turkey has previously said it shared recordings linked to the murder of Khashoggi with officials in Riyadh, Washington and other capitals.
Khashoggi was last seen entering the consulate on October 2 to obtain documents for his forthcoming marriage.
Bolton, speaking to reporters in Singapore ahead of a regional summit, was asked whether it was right to say the audio contained nothing that implicated the crown prince.
"I haven´t listened to the tape myself but in the assessment of those who have listened to it that´s right," he said.
