Donald Trump: Denials over Iran jet video

Donald Trump said last night he didn’t see video on TV of a plane carrying $400m (€360m) in cash to Iran, a rare reversal of comments he made on the campaign trail earlier this week.

“The plane I saw on television was the hostage plane in Geneva, Switzerland, not the plane carrying $400 million in cash going to Iran!” the Republican presidential nominee said on Twitter.

Trump’s comments follow days of tumult for his campaign after he sparred with the family of a slain Muslim-American soldier, refused to endorse Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan for re-election, and was hit with a series of post-convention polls showing him trailing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
