None

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The State Department is reviewing a last-minute decision by former Secretary of State John Kerry to send $221 million dollars to the Palestinians late last week over the objections of congressional Republicans.

 

The department said Tuesday it would look at the payment and might make adjustments to ensure it comports with the Trump administration's priorities.

 

Granger released a statement Tuesday saying, "I am deeply disappointed that President Obama defied congressional oversight and released $221 million to the Palestinian territories."
