iran are now under house arrest as the biden administration is taking steps toward a planned prisoner swap. the u.s. will allow the release of $6 billion in iranian assets that were previously blocked by u.s. sanctions, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter. also part of the deal, an unknown number of iranians detained in the u.s. will be transferred from u.s. custody to iran. joining us now is an iranian journalist who was herself targeted in an assassination plot by a group with ties to iran, an assassination attempt to be carried out in the united states. thank you for being with us. first, your reaction to this deal? first of all, i m happy that the innocent prisoners are free. but in the first place, the u.s. government must have warned the u.s. citizens not to go to my beautiful country iran because it is not a land of tourism. it is a land of terrorism. and they support terrorists around the world as well.
something that he s not going to do. but, remember, last year he not only attended the signing during recess, but he stood behind president biden when he did so, president biden handing him the pen he used to sign the bill into law. manchin yesterday making some news during a radio interview, flirting with the idea of becoming an independent, distancing himself from the implementation of the bill, saying that president biden is catering too much to the left and not playing up the energy security investments as part of the bill and defending the moniker that he gave the bill, saying that it brought down inflation rather than enhanced, at times sparring with the host of that radio show. what is interesting is that mere hours later, president biden in utah at a fund-raiser said he wished he never called it that. just another example of these growing contradictions between the two men that i expect will continue in the coming months as manchin crystallizes his plans and announces them. not

paternity. that is how he treats a little baby girl. he denied paternity when it was found out he in fact is the father. now he has gone from coldhearted cad to deadbeat dad. we have a right to know all of this because this is a guy we know who has made money from art. i want to know who all those purchases are. that is probably influence peddling in some way shape or form. sounds like he is living in the white house as we sit here. we know he has connections to ukraine and china and all these millions of dollars from the biden crime family that is not accounted for. sean, he s gotten $5000 reported a month for this girl. we know the kind of money he has. this is coldhearted. it absolutely is. he had to settle the case because he was facing criminal contempt and jail time for concealing his financial records. why did the mom agree? i wouldn t have agreed either. i wonder if she had some type
