Fleming: Untraceable Cash to Iranians Is More Dangerous Foolishness from Obama

Statement

Congressman John Fleming, M.D. released the following statement seeking additional answers for the Obama Administration's decision to transfer $400 million in hard currency to Iran.

"The situation has been shrouded in mystery from the beginning. The White House has kept Congress in the dark about the January cash transfer to Iran, but one thing is certain: Obama gave Iran and its terrorist network a desperately needed, untraceable infusion of cash. Gaining access to hard currency is a terrorist's delight and the Iranians are now free to fund more terrorist cells, unbeknownst to our intelligence agencies. It seems that preventing the cash from falling into the hands of America's enemies was of no concern to either President Obama or Secretary Kerry, despite the fact that there is zero traceability for these sorts of transactions. Contrast this with what Americans go through to access their own money from banks when converted to cash. Once again Obama places Iranian priorities above American priorities.

"This is completely unacceptable. In September I will be introducing a resolution of inquiry demanding answers and documentation from the White House and agency officials at State and Treasury on any agreements between the United States and Iran specifically related to the January cash transfer. I find it astounding that the President handed over $400 million in cash to a State Sponsor of Terrorism. He must be held accountable."
