U.S. President Donald Trump said he has been fully briefed on an audio recording of journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder but does not want to listen to it himself.
"Because it's a suffering tape. It's a terrible tape," he said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday" that was conducted Friday. "It was very violent, very vicious and terrible."
Earlier, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar was quoted as saying by broadcaster CNN Turk Sunday that Khashoggi's killersmay have taken his dismembered body out of Turkey in luggage, .
Speaking at a panel as part of an international conference in Halifax, Canada, Akar said the killers may have taken the journalist's body parts out of Turkey in luggage.
"One probability is that they left the country three to four hours after committing the murder. They may have taken out Khashoggi's dismembered corpse inside luggage without facing problems due to their diplomatic immunity," CNN Turk cited Akar as saying.
Turkey has said a group of 15 individuals, including a two-man "clean-up team", was involved and that Khashoggi's body had been dismembered. Turkish officials have also called for an investigation into whether the body was dissolved in acid.
