Details of the United States’ 2016 prisoner swap with Iran continue to surface more than a year later, forming a picture much different from the one the Obama administration presented at the time. The latest revelations are the most shocking yet. Under the deal, the United States granted clemency to 7 Iranians and dismissed charges against another 14 in exchange for the release of 4 Americans held in Iran. President Barack Obama called it “a reciprocal humanitarian gesture”—but it turns out the Justice Department had labeled many of those Iranians “a clear threat to U.S. national security.”
