“122 vicious prisoners, released by the Obama Administration from Gitmo, have returned to the battlefield. Just another terrible decision!" (@realDonaldTrump account)
Repeated on Mar. 7

This is false. Only eight former Gitmo detainees "confirmed of reengaging" in terrorist or insurgent activities were released under Obama, and 113 were released under George W. Bush. Although this tweet, sent at 7:04 a.m., was immediately called out as false on Twitter, Trump repeated it on the @POTUS account at 8:03 a.m. Trump tweeted this on the same day from @realDonaldTrump and @POTUS. Therefore, we are counting the two tweets as separate entries in our database.
