At today’s press conference, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest denied that a $400 million payment to Iran was a bribe to Iranian leaders to secure the release of four Americans being held in that country. Earnest, however, would not answer when asked if the prisoners would have been released if the money had not been delivered.
