The video that Trump continues to lie about isn’t of money being sent to Iran. It is Fox News b-roll of hostages being sent home from Iran.
The media is finally doing its job. Donald Trump is no longer getting a free pass to lie at will. The fact of the matter is that there was nothing hidden or illegal about the transfer. Republicans are trying to create a story to distract from the collapse of Donald Trump’s campaign.
Throughout his speech in Maine, Trump repeated the lie that the hostages were traded for cash. It isn’t true, and the media is finally stepping up to call out Trump’s lies.
