udio linked to Jamal AKhashoggi’s murder inside Saudi Arabia’s Istanbul con- sulate 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 — a Saudi dissident and fierce crit- ic of the crown prince — with officials in Riyadh, Washington and other capitals. Khashoggi was last seen entering the consulate on October 2 to obtain docu- ments for his forthcoming marriage. After repeated denials, Saudi Arabia finally admitted the 59-year-old had been murdered at the mission in a “rogue” operation. Bolton, speaking to reporters in Singapore ahead of a regional summit, was asked whether it was right to say the audio contained noth- ing that implicated the crown prince. “I haven’t listened to the tape myself but in the assess- ment of those who have lis- tened to it that’s right,” he said. Khashoggi’s brazen murder has caused intense speculation over what, if any- thing, Crown Prince Salman might have known about the operation.
