An audio recording of the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul obtained by the Turkish government has now been shared with the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Saudi Arabia, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday.

"We gave it to Saudi Arabia," Erdogan told reporters shortly before departing for France to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the end of World War I. "We gave it to America. To the Germans, French, English — we gave it to all of them."
