Trump Received $10M from Egypt in 2016!
A report by the Washington Post states Egypt’s government may have given Donald Trump $10 million in cash in 2017 to boost his election campaign.
This report goes further and states that Trump had, in October 2016, following a meeting he had with Egypt’s president in New York, injected $10m into his campaign.
A damning report by the Washington Post revealed that Egypt’s government may have given Donald Trump $10 million in cash in 2016 to boost his election campaign, but the probe into the bribe was quashed by Trump’s attorney general, William Barr.
The report, published on Friday, states that a $10m cash withdrawal was made from a Cairo bank just five days before Trump’s inauguration, which later fuelled a probe into whether he had accepted the bribe.
In the United States, candidates for federal office are prohibited from accepting foreign donations, which would make the withdrawal unlawful.
The report also states that Trump had in October 2016, injected $10m into his campaign, which came following a meeting with Egypt’s president when he was in New York.
The official investigation was thwarted before agents were able to collect evidence they needed for the case, after Trump’s attorney general William Barr reportedly questioned if there was sufficient evidence to carry out the probe.
Trump’s Justice Department also blocked FBI agents and prosecutors from accessing bank records which would have provided the evidence.
Barr had also told attorney Jessie Liu, also appointed by Trump, to examine the intelligence herself.
If you recall, Barr had changed attorneys in the AG office until he had attorneys there which did Trump’s, and his, bidding without asking questions. These attorneys did as they were told, as far as investigating any wrongdoing from the White House. (And just think, Trump is accusing Biden of “weaponizing” the Department of Justice!)
The report has raised questions over Trump’s repeated paise for Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his objections over concerns from politicians over his authoritarian rule and human rights abuses in the north African country.
Two months before the election day, Trump met with Sisi behind closed doors on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in Manhattan, with Trump later calling him a "fantastic guy" in an interview on Fox News.
Directly after the meeting, the Trump campaign also said that Trump promised Sisi that the US planned to be a "loyal friend" to Egypt.
The probe has not been renewed under attorney general Merrick Garland, and is not likely to be reopened. To me, this is an injustice, especially with him the Republican candidate for the office of President of the United States!
The justice department, US attorney in Washington DC, the FBI and an Egyptian government spokesperson declined to answer any of the Washington Post’s questions.
An unnamed source told the Washington Post that "every American should be concerned about how this case ended” and that "the Justice Department is supposed to follow evidence wherever it leads – it does so all the time to determine if a crime occurred or not."
A spokesperson for Trump has slammed the report, blaming "deep state Trump-haters and bad faith actors" for it.
"None of the allegations or insinuations being reported on have any basis in fact. The Washington Post is consistently played for suckers by Deep State Trump-haters and bad faith actors peddling hoaxes and shams," Steven Cheung said.
If this is the case, then welcome the probe. Demand the investigation, and turn over all of Trump’s ORIGINAL tax returns, financial books, and everything else requested for the investigation.
No, here again is just another example of the crookedness that was connived by Trump to get elected.
Please take the time to read the full Washington Post article. It’s time ‘we the people’ demand this investigation be conducted, and the appropriate charges filed against all who violated the law!
