More Guantanamo releases likely before Jan 20
WASHINGTON - There will likely be additional prisoners transferred from the U.S. naval facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, before President Barack Obama leaves office on Jan. 20, the White House said on Thursday.
"I am not able to speak to any specific detainee transfers between now and Jan. 20 other than to confirm for you that there are likely to be some," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said at a news briefing.
The releases will be announced publicly as they have been in the past, he said.
