TURKISH COUP ATTEMPT RECAP: There are conflicting reports about whether or not they have President Erdogan in custody. Some info says he fled the country, some says he’s with loyalist military, and some say he’s been arrested. Whatever the fact of the matter is, a statement was just read out on state television saying the coup has been successful.
