State Dep't Won't Say If Plane Carrying Cash for Iran Landed Before US Prisoners Were Allowed to Leave
(CNSNews.com) – Facing ongoing question about claims of a link between Iran’s release of imprisoned Americans and the administration’s payment of $400 million to the regime, the State Department on Tuesday would still not say whether a plane carrying the cash landed in Tehran before one carrying the prisoners took off.
“I just want to try and get this cleared up,” Associated Press reporter Matt Lee said during a daily briefing. “Am I ever going to get an answer to the question about the planes?”
“I’ve given you the answer I can give,” spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau replied.
