Trump tweeted that 122 former prisoners returned to fight against the U.S. but incorrectly blamed it on the Obama administration. “122 vicious prisoners, released by the Obama Administration from Gitmo, have returned to the battlefield,” Trump tweeted. According to a September 2016 report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, 113 of the 122 prisoners were released under former President George W. Bush’s administration. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer tried to clarify Trump’s tweet during his daily press briefing. “Obviously the president meant in totality the number that had been released on the battlefield -- that have been released from Gitmo ... since individuals have been released,” Spicer said.
