BREAKING: Donald Trump gets hit with nuclear bad news as Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin launches a probe into his alleged illegal acceptance of $10 million from the Egyptian government during his 2016 campaign.
And it gets even worse for MAGA...
Raskin is also investigating whether or not Trump allies smothered an investigation into the alleged corruption ā meaning he could be poised to uncover a sprawling conspiracy.
As the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Raskin sent a letter after The Washington Post discovered that the Egyptian government withdrew $10 million in funds soon after Trump placed the same amount of money into his campaign towards the end of the 2016 election.
It must be noted that while president, Trump went on to call Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi his "favorite dictator" and released military aid that had been held up due to human rights abuses ā which certainly looks like a quid pro quo.
The Justice Department investigated the issue, concerned that Trump violated campaign finance laws, but his Attorney General Bill Barr put a stop to it.
Raskin wrote that the Post's report "renewed suspicion that you collected a $10 million cash bribe from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. This detailed news report has also triggered serious speculation that your handpicked political appointees at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), including Attorney General William Barr, subsequently blocked efforts by career prosecutors and agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate the political and financial corruption that has been described."
"Surely you would agree that the American people deserve to know whether a former presidentāand a current candidate for presidentātook an illegal campaign contribution from a brutal foreign dictator," he added.
Raskin is demanding access to the records sought by investigators, documentation from Trump about where the campaign loan came from, and is also asking if he "directly or indirectly received money from the Egyptian President or government."
Raskin added that the timing of the loan was "especially notable because earlier that year Deutsche Bank, your long-time creditor and one of the few banks that had still been willing to extend you loans, emphatically declined your request for additional credit."
America deserves the full truth and we deserve it immediately. If Trump did take a bribe from Egypt, he must be prosecuted and imprisoned for it.
