The McCurtain County Sheriff's Office addressed the audio, which appears to be of the Sheriff and other officials in conversation about killing journalists and hanging Black people, by alleging it was recorded illegally and had been altered.
Audio released by the local paper appears to show that several local officials, including the Sheriff, stuck around after a public meeting and among other things discussed a desire to kill journalists and the hanging of Black people.
Oklahoma's Republican governor and the state representative for the area have called on Sheriff Kevin Clardy to resign. On Tuesday, Clardy's office appeared to push back, releasing a statement saying it is investigating the recording to possibly bring charges against the person who recorded it and alleging that it had been altered.
While the governor and others are calling for the resignation of an Oklahoma sheriff and other officials over an audio recording in which the group is reportedly heard discussing a desire to kill journalists and the hanging of Black people, his office instead shared a statement saying it is looking into the legality of the recording and suggested they may try to file criminal charges against the person who made it.
