Jean-Pierre: Today we transferred [Majid] Khan to Belize after he finished serving his sentence at Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility. Khan entered a plea agreement in 2012, in which he pledged to cooperate with the US Government…we remain dedicated to a deliberate and thorough process, focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population at Guantanamo Bay, and ultimately closing the facility.

Jean-Pierre: Congresswoman Omar is a highly respected member of congress…[removing her] is a disservice to the American people.
