CLEVELAND -- "Time after time the facts, and just the facts, lead you to the same verdict both around the world and at home," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Here's a look at some of the assertions Christie made in his speech at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday.

CUBA

"Hillary Clinton supported concessions to the Castro brothers and got almost nothing in return for ending the embargo," Christie said. "She supported a deal that didn't even require this murderous regime to return a cop killer, Joanne Chesimard, to face justice."

Chesimard escaped from prison after being convicted in the killing of a New Jersey state trooper and New Jersey lawmakers of both parties have criticized the Cuba deal because it did not include her extradition.

The facts: Clinton left the State Department in February 2013, more than a year and a half before President Barack Obama announced he would move toward a new relationship with Cuba. "Isolation has not worked," he said in December 2004.

She did support Obama's decision.

EMAILS

"She said that she did not email any classified information," Christie said. "The FBI director said that was untrue."

The facts: That Federal Bureau of Investigation director, James Comey, a Republican who was Christie's former boss at the U.S. Justice Department told a House committee in July: "I do not believe there's evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that she knew she was receiving classified information in violation of the requirements."

IRAN

"She led the negotiations that brought about the worst nuclear deal in history," Christie said. "Let me be clear: America and the world are measurably less safe and less respected because of the Iran deal Hillary helped cut."

The facts: The nuclear deal was agreed to by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States, and Germany.

By all accounts, it delays the time Iran would have to build a nuclear weapon if it breaks the deal to more than a year from three months, requires limits on enrichment, and set up inspections and monitoring for up to 25 years.

Separately, 29 scientists and engineers called the deal "technically sound, stringent and innovative."

Republicans opposed the deal en masse while most Democrats backed it, a notable exception being U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.). "If Iran is to acquire a nuclear bomb, it will not have my name on it," Menendez said in August.

STIMULUS

"Hillary Clinton praised the Chinese government for buying our debt to finance President Obama's bloated stimulus plan. So desperate for Chinese cash, she promised to oppose the Buy American provision in the stimulus bill in exchange for the cash to finance his huge expansion of government spending."

The facts: The leading opponents of the Buy American provision were business groups, led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, because many of its corporate members no longer manufacture in the U.S.

"If we refuse to buy foreign-made goods, then our trading partners will refuse to buy from us," Chamber President Tom Donohue said in February 2009. "And since we are the world's largest exporter, who will be hurt more?"

The $814 billion package, some it going for tax cuts, created millions of jobs as the U.S. recovered from the Great Recession, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

SYRIA

"In Syria, she called President Assad a 'reformer' and a 'different kind of leader,'" Christie said.

The facts: In actuality, she simply related others' opinions.

"There is a different leader in Syria now," Clinton said on CBS' "Face the Nation" in 2011, according to Politifact, the Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking site. "Many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he's a reformer."

"Christie is taking quotes by Clinton out of context, and ignoring historical events that followed, when Clinton denounced Assad and called for his exit," Politifact said. "We rate this statement half true."
