Democrats to Finally Ask Trump the $10 Million Question on Egypt

"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."

A bit of background:

According to the Post, the Justice Department began to investigate the matter after learning of a withdrawal from an organization with ties to the Egyptian intelligence service five days ahead of Trump’s 2017 inauguration.

Barr had asked a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney to review classified intelligence collected on the matter, determining there was insufficient evidence to pursue the case. That conclusion followed months of internal disagreement and an apparent ask by Barr for FBI Director Christopher Wray to supervise agents “hell bent” on tracking down Trump records.

Raskin is now seeking some of the records investigators likely sought, asking Trump to turn over documentation about the source of his campaign loan and whether it was repaid. He also asks Trump point-blank if he “directly or indirectly received money from the Egyptian President or government.”
