Trump backs off false Iran video claim

In a rare reversal for Trump, who has stood by inaccurate or unproven claims previously, the Republican nominee in his Twitter account claimed that the video he saw was of the prisoner transfer, not the payment.

According to foreign media, the Republican nominee had claimed at rallies twice this week that such a video existed.

Politico Magazine wrote that Trump has claimed that he saw video footage of a $ 400 million US cash payment to Iran.

But what Trump had actually seen in news reports was video of three American prisoners who Iran had released arriving in Geneva, Switzerland.
