During a Wednesday rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, Donald Trump spoke both at length and in detail about a top secret video he’d seen involving pallets and pallets of cash being unloaded from a plane in Iran.
The GOP candidate also said the footage came directly from the Iranian government and was released to bring shame upon the U.S.
Following his speech, multiple sources doubted that Trump would have seen such a video.
On Friday, in a tweet, Trump did seem to acknowledge that he didn't see the footage from Iran. His post read - "The plane I saw on television was the hostage plane in Geneva, Switzerland, not the plane carrying $400 million in cash going to Iran!"
In the hours after his Daytona Beach speech, the Trump campaign had also clarified that he did not see any top secret video involving cash.
Hope Hicks, the campaign spokesperson, told the Washington Post that the video was "merely the b-roll footage included in every broadcast."
While the Wall Street Journal did recently report on a January delivery of various currencies valued at roughly $400 million to Tehran as part of a settlement the US owes the nation, it is not believed any video of its unloading exists.
