Trump: Kerry convinced Iran not to sign better deal

"I think we would have had a deal with Iran done except he was telling Iran not to do it, that's my opinion," 45th president says in wake of recordings alleging that Kerry was sharing sensitive intelligence on Israel with Iran.

President Donald Trump lashed out on Wednesday at the former secretary of state under the Obama administration, John Kerry, in the wake of the revelation that he had allegedly shared sensitive information on Israeli military action with Iran's foreign minister.

Speaking on the Dan Bongino podcast, the 45th president said Kerry's alleged talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in which he reportedly disclosed the scope of Israeli operations in Syria, was "terrible."

"If you look at what's happening. We got the word out on so many things. Including, I just saw today, on John Kerry and what he did with Iran. I was pushing that very very hard... I think we would have had a deal with Iran done except he was telling Iran not to do it, that's my opinion," Trump said, referring to his efforts to convince the Iranian regime to sign up to a better deal than the one negotiated under his predecessor.

Trump made this comment while answering a question on the alleged abuse powers by some law-enforcement officials, who supposedly conducted illicit surveillance on the president himself when he was in office. Trump said that he managed to expose this and "get it out," before issuing a tirade on Kerry, saying the former diplomat sabotaged the administration's pressure campaign on Tehran.

"Now that's coming out it's a terrible thing. So you know you talk about the Logan Act, look what they did with General Michael Flynn," Trump said. "What they [the federal government] did with John Kerry, and the way he was protected was incredible. Actually incredible."
