WNU Editor: Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have probably been receiving their intelligence briefings since the weekend. Hmmmm .... receive intelligence briefings, and a day or two later we now have this story .... On The Same Day That 4 Americans Were Released By Iran, The U.S. Sent $400 Million In Cash To Tehran. They say that the source for this breaking news story is from European and Congressional officials .... but they are on vacation now .... and who are these sources?
