#246: State Department Admits to Lying and the Shocking Truth About Iran’s Treatment of U.S. Sailors
The United States State Department admitted this week that it intentionally deleted an eight-minute exchange in an archived video. The video was from a December 2013 press conference where then-State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki essentially admitted that the Obama administration lied about having secret talks with Iran in 2011. With the Iran nuclear deal signed, news about how the administration manufactured stories to push the deal forward continues to be unveiled.
In addition to manipulating the media on the Iran deal, the administration has also skewed facts about how U.S. sailors were treated when they were taken hostage by Iran earlier this year. Legislation was introduced last week that will compel the Obama administration to admit whether or not it had to pay Iran for the release of the hostages. At the time, top U.S. officials, including John Kerry and Joe Biden, praised Iranian authorities for the way they “helped” the U.S. sailors.
