Temer recording may not be what it seems in Brazilian bribery scandal

The recording is in dispute

The initial report was that Brazilian President Michael Temer was recorded saying to a JBS executive (in Portuguese) :" I am paying Eduardo Cunha so he keeps quiet." And Temer responded: "You keep doing that."

New reports say the audio isn't clear and that the executive said "I am doing all I can; staying friends with Eduardo Cunha" And Temer said: "You keep doing that".

The dispute has led to a small recovery in the Brazilian real today after the huge move yesterday.
