A STORY SO HOT OFF THE PRESS
THAT IT MAY REQUIRE OPENING THE WATER GATES

8-2-2024 —> Today, Aaron C. Davis and Carol D. Leonnig of the Washington Post reported that there is reason to believe that when Trump’s 2016 campaign was running low on funds, Trump accepted a $10 million injection of cash from Egypt’s authoritarian leader Abdel Fatah al-Sisi. It is against the law to accept direct or indirect financial support from foreign nationals or foreign governments for a political campaign in the United States. Stay tuned.

T-Rump took money from Egypt
By Heather Cox Richardson 8-2-2024

Washington Post Exclusive
$10M cash withdrawal drove secret probe
into whether Trump took money from Egypt
Political appointees rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers, then closed the case.

"Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, a manager at a bank branch in Cairo received an unusual letter from an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service. It asked the bank to 'kindly withdraw' nearly $10 million from the organization’s account — all in cash."
