Republicans Seek to Censure Obama Over Iran Payment

“Congressional Republicans want to censure the Obama administration for sending $400 million in ‘ransom’ to Iran on the same day as American prisoners were released – an issue they bet will play big on the campaign trail two months before election day,” the Washington Post reports.

“The move comes as new details are emerging about just how and when the Obama administration completed the transfer of $1.7 billion to settle claims related to the incomplete sale of military weapons before the Iranian Revolution in 1979.”
