President Donald Trump claimed without evidence that people in Gaza were using condoms provided by the United States to make bombs.
"There was a short-term pause or funding freeze on certain discretionary spending payments, such as government grants, only for us to quickly look at the scams, dishonesty, waste, and abuse that's taken place in our government for too long," Trump said Wednesday of a funding freeze that a federal court had halted Tuesday evening.
"And that process we identified and stopped $50 million being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas, 50 million," he added. "And you know what's happened to them? They've used them as a method of making bombs. How about that?"
