Original Note:
Barnes did not admit to doing this. He alleges that Gov. John Connally, Jr. persuaded Iran to detain the US hostages until the election. Congressional investigations found no evidence of wrongdoing. Connally died in '93 & is unable to confirm or discredit this allegation. https://nypost.com/2023/03/19/former-texas-lt-gov-says-political-mentor-sabotaged-jimmy-carters-re-election/ https://www.axios.com/2023/03/19/report-former-texas-governor-sabotaged-carter-in-iran-hostage-crisis
