Dem Sen. Coons: 'I Don't Think' Iran Financed Hamas Attack Because it Knew It Would Get Swap Money

On Monday's broadcast of CNN's "Early Start," Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) responded to a question on whether Iran helped facilitate the Hamas attacks on Israel because it knew it would receive $6 billion in assets that were unfrozen under a prisoner swap agreement brokered by the Biden administration by stating that "I don't think that is financing this crisis. And I think those who are saying so are not being truthful." And it's "regrettable" that people are "attacking our president in this moment, blaming him for inciting this incident."
