What was said

"So this guy, he gets, you know, he's jailed, and then within a week or two he's released. Huh, how does that happen? Well, it turns out DEA went in and met with him and said, hey, have we got a deal for you. You become a cooperator with the United States And we'll, you know, we'll, we'll help you out. We'll get you off, we'll get you off the hook. And the CIA got involved with it too."

Larry Johnson claims the reported Iranian plot to assassinate Trump originated from a staged operation involving a convicted Afghan drug trafficker who was released from a Singapore prison after being recruited by DEA and CIA. Johnson asserts the entire operation was manufactured to create a narrative that Iran was attempting assassinations on U.S. soil, and that Israel is now using similar intelligence to manipulate Trump into military action against Iran.
