On Friday’s broadcast of Fox Information’ “Outnumbered,” Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-N.C.) mentioned the Biden administration ought to “completely” reverse its determination to take away the overseas terrorist group designation of the Yemeni Houthis that the Trump administration took in 2018. Within the wake of the Houthis capturing down an American drone, he acknowledged that the incident confirms “the necessity to now make sure that Iranian property amounting to $6 billion are additionally frozen.”

Co-host Kayleigh McEnany requested: “Considered one of your colleagues, Rep. Jared Moskovitz (D-FL)… partnered with Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) to ship a message letter To Antony Blinken, Secretary of State, saying that we should classify the Houthis as de facto terrorists. This was executed within the closing days of the Trump administration, a designation that was eliminated (by) President Biden. I did not see your signature on that letter, however now within the wake of the Houthis capturing down a drone, would you encourage Blinken — together with Jared Moskowitz and others — to designate this group as a terrorist group? “

“Certain,” Nickel replied. And I believe this highlights the state of affairs and the necessity to now be sure that we freeze the $6 billion in Iranian property as properly. “Iran is behind all these assaults and it appears very clear.”
