Officials say the Obama administration in its waning hours defied Republican opposition and quietly released $221 million to the Palestinian Authority.
GOP members of Congress had been holding up the money.
A State Department official and several congressional aides say the outgoing administration formally notified Congress it would spend the money Friday morning, just before Donald Trump became president.
More than $227 million in foreign affairs funding was released at the time, including $4 million for climate change programs and $1.25 million for U.N. organizations.

Maybe it came from foreign add money that was already approved?
This AP story is going to be a tough call for the MSM to spread..or bury.
Character study of Obama could be performed based on his final actions the last few weeks in office he really showed his hand showed what he was by releasing murderous terrorists and also sending money to a pack of murdering terrorists
Stop the damn check.
One can never own too many bottles of camel pee. Very useful for what ails you.
“Camel pee. Very powerful aphrodisiac.”
“It’s not turning me on, dear.”
“You’re not camel.”
“midnight cash pallets”
I believe that you are thinking of the money that Obama sent to Iran.
works good on goats, however.
Trump cares.
His final actions just reaffirm where his allegiances always were in the Middle East. Definitely not with Israel, a Muslim apologist and sympathizer to the end (and that’s putting it nicely).
Follow the money and drop 222+ million in HE on it. FUislam.
Would like to know who’s pockets this will fill. Is there ever any accountability? I am so glad he is out of office.
If I had the opportunity to waste $5.25 million, I couldn't find a surer way to do it.
Yes! Seize any wages, profits from any book deals etc until the 227 is paid back...with interest.
No...take it from Obama’s retirement and secret service fund
No wonder he couldn’t bring himself to say Islamic Terrorist because he’s part of the “Brotherhood”.
That’s one thing that should be done. Another thing is the public should be made aware of this via a news conference covered by the MSM. Fool the MSM and tell them it is about GW or some crap so they cover it.
Disgraced Former President.
We shouldn’t send the Palestinians a nickle. It funds graft and terrorism.
