Hostages told repeatedly that plane would not take off until other plane arrived

"Some of you may recall we announced these payments in January, many months ago," Obama said. "This wasn't some nefarious deal."

The payment was part of a settlement for a failed, decades-old arms deal, one of a "number of issues" that Obama said was resolved during the negotiation of the Iran nuclear deal. The payment stoked outrage Wednesday as Fox News played footage that showed American hostages arriving in Geneva in January, although Republican nominee Donald Trump seemed to think the footage was taken in Iran, according to The Washington Post.

"It was the assessment of our lawyers that we were now at a point where there was a significant litigation risk and we could end up costing ourselves billions of dollars," the President said. "It was their advice and suggestion that we settle, and that's what these payments represent."
