Unearthed memo confirms John Kerry’s clandestine meetings with Iran in effort to undermine Trump: report

May 27, 2022 | | Print Article

The ACLJ has unearthed a memo through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) showing that former Obama Secretary of State John Kerry did indeed engage in covert meetings with Iran during the previous administration in an effort to salvage the Iran deal that former President Donald Trump nixed.

“John Kerry tried to undermine President Trump in order to support Iran, putting our national security at risk,” the American Center for Law & Justice asserted in an article.

“Remember the stories that former Obama Secretary of State John Kerry – no longer in office as of January 20, 2017 – engaged in shadow diplomacy with Iran promoting foreign policy contrary to that of America’s sitting President, Donald Trump? As the story continued to unfold, and more information about the Left’s counter-diplomacy was revealed even just last year, the ACLJ went to work,” Jordan Sekulow, who is an attorney and the Executive Director of the American Center for Law and Justice, remarked.

Sekulow went on to announce that the ACLJ obtained a never-before-seen “unclassified” October 2018 memo titled, “Notes From ‘Iran and the US: An Off-the-Record Conversation with Foreign Minister Mohamad Javad Zarif.'”

The previously unreported “off-the-record meeting” allegedly took place at the “Iranian Ambassador’s Residence, NYC,” on October 4, 2018, during Trump’s tenure in office and following the withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iran nuclear deal. That was just a few days before the media ran with Kerry’s confession that he had secretly been in talks with Iran.

The memo includes discussions between Zarif and former U.S. officials that covered a wide range of topics including nuclear weapons, potential prisoner swaps, Afghanistan withdrawal, negotiations with the Taliban, Houthi rebels, Syria, Suleimani’s popularity in Iran, and the “region in turmoil.”

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reviewed the memo, calling it “a big deal for sure.” He noted, “This is exactly what we were fighting… The arrogance. The indecency. The hatred of Israel.”

“In the ACLJ’s FOIA request sent to the State Department last year, we sought records of these former high-level Obama officials engaged in secret, ‘off the record’ diplomacy with Iran, and particularly, with Mohammad Javad Zarif,” Sekulow wrote referring to former Obama officials John Kerry, Robert Malley, and Ernest Moniz.

They requested, “All records, communications or briefings created, generated, forwarded, transmitted, sent, shared, saved, received, or reviewed by any DOS official or employee that regard in any way John Kerry, Robert Malley, or Ernest Moniz, and Mohammad Javad Zarif or U.S. relations with Iran.”

The State Department promptly ignored the ACLJ’s requests, so they took it to federal court.

“There are many more documents to be produced in this case; and once the production is complete, we’ll have to litigate against the State Department to force it to reveal what it has redacted and withheld along the way,” Sekulow stated.

“One question we will pursue: In whose custody was this memo? Another one is, what conversations did Obama-era holdovers still at the State Department have with the ‘former’ U.S. diplomats who went to this meeting?” he asked.

“The memo we uncovered shines a light, not just on the secret meeting itself, but also on Zarif’s rhetoric and unbelievable assertions as he attempts to persuade his listeners. For instance, he claims ‘Iran will never seek atomic weapons.’ Well, I guess there’s no cause for concern here. And, ‘It is almost impossible to turn fuel rods into nuclear weapons.’ Almost impossible. He goes on and on, spouting off his distorted pro-Iran view as if it’s fact,” Sekulow continued.

“Interestingly, record productions we’ve received in this case also include a series of sensitive but unclassified (SBU) emails revealing that Kerry had State Department staff working to send correspondence to Zarif, described as a farewell letter, two weeks after Kerry had left office on January 20, 2017. It is clear from the emails that the State Department staff were struggling with how to send the letter, we presume because the United States had no official diplomatic relations with Iran,” he added.

“As of now, the State Department has withheld the contents of Kerry’s secret February 2017 letter to Zarif, so we will continue to litigate to gain access,” Sekulow concluded.

  1. If you trust or even believe the lying democratic party of un-american politicians or the media than you deserve to be your fate to be tormented in hell . Abortion is slapping God’s face . Wow ! Your selfish , arrogant miss conception of life , is unbelievable , repent if you get pregnant seek a pro life family that wants a child . And planned Parenthood should be ashamed , there name suggests that they’ll help you as a parent . They should be teaching how to not get pregnant , preventive ways for you thrill seekers . Are we to believe anything coming from our current president , maybe we should believe everything China says . Or Iran , Russia . I was proud to be an American under Republican rule . It made sense , America first .

  4. I’m making over $17k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true.
    This is where i started… http://Www.NetCash1.Com

  5. This is no secret. This was called out right after the 2016 election. In fact, we’ve been wondering how long it would take for the Justice Department to start the legal proceedings against John Kerry and friends that decided they were above the law. We realize that DOJ moves very slowly on the left side of things…they’re still fooling around with the Hillary and friends joke, then they can start on the Biden joke. I guess what Kerry was doing in Iran was OK as long as Trump wasn’t aware of it. God forbid any Democrat respect the office of the President of the United States.

    1. Shouldn’t you be working to make more money Sarah??? IF you really made any money you wouldn’t be suckering FOOLS into your SCHEME!!! GET LOST!!!

  8. Kerry is a traitor.He has been a traitor since he involved himself without OUR government consent to attend the Paris Peace talks during Nam.

  9. All this is why I have insisted on a SCORCHED EARTH Policy for PRESIDENT TRUMP’S next term!!! The PRECEDENT that the DEMOcrats have set for arrests and CHARGELESS INCARCERATION should suit the treasonous scum of the left just fine!! There are MANY MORE who need to be rounded up and hauled off to GITMO – especially the MILITARY men who have been involved in the various schemes! Recall them ALL to Active Duty and begin the Courts Martial !! Televised public hangings would go a LONG way to restore Our Nation!!

    1. Very well said! Until that happens our country is headed towards destruction.

  11. Kerry should be arrested and tried for treason . We execute traitors – it is a capital crime .

  13. Everybody in the deep state was trying to undermine Trump….and look what he still accomplished. Think where we would be had it not been for these traitors.

  15. Kerry violated federal laws and is a Traitor – but will NEVER be prosecuted because of our corrupt government agencies and corrupt 2-tiered legal system – 1 for rich and famous and Democrats – and the other real one – for the rest of us.

  16. Th e corruption of our government hopefully reached its zenith with the combination of Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry. The intent was to further to extend their control of the dimocratic party under Hillary as our Queen. It was a shock they lost that control, so through the whole Trump administration they did their best to further their agenda furtively with Hillary Clinton’s false accusations , Obama’s speech rd on how great his time in office was, and this treason by Kerry. Currently they are adamant to overtly push their dimocratic dictatorship through using the inept Biden.

  17. Lurch has been an America-hater since his stint in Vietnam. It will be great to see him hung for treason.

    1. He deserves to have the charge brought against him, and we can only hope for the best! He is treasonous, and this definitely proves it. He was working with an enemy against a sitting President and United States Policy.

  21. Unfortunately, this is what we get to look forward to after November 2024, no matter what Republican takes the WH. Look how they try to destroy Ron D. every darn day let alone still trying to stick a felony on Trump. NY was a wash, so now Georgia is trying. Cheney is trying to use J6 commission to push DOJ for charges. Guarantee there will be treasonous b’tards in State Dept., FBI, CIA, CDC, etc., who will still sleeze in their globalist, ant-Israel, anti-Borders, climate change garbage. How do you now turn around a “woke” military that they are grooming? How do we even begin to purge the swamp?

  22. So what’s going to be done? Nothing. Same as ever. Nothing.
    99.9 % of Washington DC is in on it and supports the policies of the anti American Obama Clinton Biden Cabal no matter what they say.
    Nothing will come of this or Durham or anything else. The international left is firmly in power saturating every Bureau and every corner of Washington DC. Republicans are no exception.

  23. This sad horse faced traitor’s face might crack if he ever attempted a smile. How this clown has been around for so long is amazing, it’s as if he’s come out of time warp to do the crazy sh** he does. Maybe after November he’ll disappear into the Twilight Zone forever lmao.

  25. Wow- the Dems refuse to lose an election to the point where they just keep their own agenda going in spite of who the American people elected. General Milley was willing to make a phone call to China if he thought HE needed to all the while Pelosi kept throwing impeachment trials at the President based on Clinton lies. Wow.
    Now we have loser Biden in office- yeah right, 81M voted for him.

  26. How is it that these traitors can continue on with all their sleezy business, and continue to attack Donald Trump? Guilt? Ah, probably not. But it’s time that all of this is disclosed, as there are still many out there who continue to bad mouth and trash talk Donald Trump because of what they “heard on the news”….and that means mainstream news media….You know that old comment “what, so you listen to FOX?” It’s time that we know the facts and those who undermined, lied and are hip deep in corruption be totally exposed.

  28. How is it that most of us already knew Kerry was traveling about, working behind the back of President Trump? I distinctly remember a few years ago, people were pointing out that Kerry was in violation of the Logan Act! Well, at least now it’s VERIFIED.
