Senators ask if Biden released $6 billion in assets to Iran to renegotiate nuke deal

President Joe Biden made it clear on Inauguration Day that his first priority was to undo everything President Trump had done, even if it meant signing executive orders until his hand cramped up. That meant rejoining the Paris climate accords and trying to reboot the Iran nuclear deal, the pet project of climate czar John Kerry.

As Twitchy reported a couple of weeks ago, Republicans pounced when the Biden administration released $6 billion in frozen assets to Iran in exchange for releasing five American hostages.

Sens. John Kennedy, Tim Scott, and Jim Risch issued a statement Monday.


“When the Obama administration released $400 million in liquidated assets to Iran in 2016, we warned that this dangerous precedent would put a price on American lives. Seven years later, the current administration is providing a ransom payment worth at least fifteen times that amount to the world’s largest state sponsor of terror, in yet another violation of the United States’ long-standing ‘no concessions’ policy,” wrote the senators.

“The release of such a significant sum to the Iranian regime runs entirely counter to that claim and will only serve to encourage additional hostage-taking for financial or political gain,” they continued.

“We are also worried that your administration is attempting to sidestep Congress and pursue other pathways to financially compensate Iran in an attempt to renegotiate a successor to the ill-fated 2015 nuclear deal. Any agreement with the Iranian regime that entails financial reward for malign behavior is wholly unacceptable,” the senators stated.

Secret foreign deals involving millions or even billions of dollars doesn't sound like something Biden would do.

Was it delivered via pallets of cash in the middle of the night?

Yes?
