Senior Biden Official Admits Funds for Iran Goes Toward Violence, Not Humanitarian Needs

U.S. senators are criticizing the Biden Administration for putting Americans in “harm's way” after Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo admitted that the $6 billion the president unfroze last year likely went to fund violent activity— and not humanitarian needs.

During his testimony on Tuesday before the Senate Banking Committee, Adeyemo acknowledged that for Iran “any dollar they have will go towards their violent activity before they deal with their people.”
