ransom

EghtesadOnline: Donald Trump said Friday he didn’t see video on TV of a plane carrying $400 million in cash to Iran, a rare reversal of comments he made on the campaign trail earlier this week.

EghtesadOnline: The White House acknowledged Monday that a $400 million cash payment to Iran in January was related to the release of three American captives, but spokesman Josh Earnest refused to agree with a State Department spokesman who called the money "leverage" in the talks.

EghtesadOnline: The Obama administration said on Wednesday that $400 million in cash paid to Iran soon after the release of five Americans detained by Tehran was not ransom as some Republicans have charged.
