One month after The Washington Post revealed that the Egyptian government may have illegally given Donald Trump $10 million in 2017, Democrats have announced they will be investigating the allegations.
Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, led by ranking member Representative Jamie Raskin, announced in a press release Tuesday that they will be “demanding answers” from the Republican presidential nominee not only over the possible bribe from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, but also over evidence that the Justice Department, led at the time by Attorney General William Barr, covered it up.
Somehow I haven’t heard of this before now - the Egyptian Government’s intelligence agency apparently shuttled $10 million to the Trump Campaign through a shell company, then the investigation was buried when Trump took office and control of the Justice Dept.
This would be career ending for anyone else.
Yeah, it’s pretty wild.
Talk about suspicious…
Like cartels literally bringing in duffel bags full of money to launder at HSBC

He has not been president for quite a while. The current DOJ has certainly had time to look into this.
You mean Merrick “mustn’t anger the republicans” Garland’s DOJ?
I want that fucker gone. Fewer Garlands, more Khans.
I’m so sorry, I couldn’t resist.
I completely agree with you; she rocks.
I’ll see myself out
I would love a few people with even half her spirit in the judicial branch…
To think he would have been Obama’s shining SC pick…
You prefer Kavanaugh then I take it? Or Gorsuch?
