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.
His staff has since clarified that he saw no such thing, notes ABC News.
According to the Trump campaign, what he did view was a January recording showing three Americans released from detention in Tehran getting off a plane in Switzerland.
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 $400 million in cash to Tehran as part of a claims settlement related to a failed arms agreement dating back to the 1970s, it is not believed any video of its unloading exists.
