The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran in direct opposition to official US policy to not pay bribes.

GOP nominee Donald Trump is blasting rival Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration Wednesday over a new report that the White House sent $400 million to Iran in January when it released four American hostages.

The latest controversy comes after another war of words between Trump and President Barack Obama.

Trump is firing back at the president after he openly questioned the nominee's fitness to serve in the nation's highest office.

"I think the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president… he's woefully unprepared to do this job," Obama told reporters in a press conference Tuesday.

With a foreign leader by his side Tuesday, Obama made an unprecedented move in modern elections. He not only blasted Trump as being unqualified for the White House, he suggested Republican leaders should withdraw their support for their party's nominee.

"If you are repeatedly having to say in very strong terms that what he has said is unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him?" Obama challenged.

Trump wasted no time firing back.

"Well, he's a terrible president. He'll probably go down as the worst president in the history of our country. He's been a total disaster. You look at what's happened to the Middle East. You look at what's happened with Syria and his line in the sand," Trump retorted.

Trump's criticism comes just as the Wall Street Journal reports the White House secretly organized the transfer of $400 million to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran.
