oversight committee said [late last week] they have launched a sweeping investigation into whether the Obama administration, in trying to win support for a nuclear deal and
prisoner swap with Tehran last year, undermined an ambitious U.S. counterproliferation effort to thwart Iranian weapons trafficking networks. Also in response to the POLITICO investigation, 13 Republican senators have demanded answers about whether the Obama administration jeopardized U.S. national security as a result of its protracted top-secret negotiations with Tehran, and then misled the
American public when disclosing the terms of the two deals in January 2016." http://politi.co/2piltEA... Read Josh's original story, "Obama's hidden Iran deal
