Donald Trump backtracks on Iran payment video claim

Barely 24 hours after he said he has seen a video of a U.S. plane dropping off cash Payment going to Iran, Donald Trump is admitting he lied.

The Republican Party presidential candidate, tweeted his change of mind this Friday saying quote-“The plane I saw on television was the hostage plane in Geneva-Swizerland, not the plane carrying 400 million dollars in cash going to Iran!”

Trump had said on Wednesday that he saw video showing the money being delivered.

But his campaign acknowledged Thursday that this was incorrect, yet he repeated the claim hours later at a rally.

It was a rare reversal for Trump, who has stood by inaccurate or unproven claims previously — insisting he’d seen videos of Muslim Americans in New Jersey cheering the September 11, 2001, attacks.
