Federal investigators discovered a $10 million cash withdrawal from Egypt to Trump during his first presidential campaign.

$10M cash withdrawal drove secret probe into whether Trump took money from Egypt

Aug 2

The Washington Post reported on a now-closed probe that looked into the use of $10 million funneled from Egypt to former President Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign.

“Federal investigators learned of the withdrawal, which has not been previously reported, early in 2019,” the Washington Post reported. “The discovery intensified a secret criminal investigation that had begun two years earlier with classified U.S. intelligence indicating that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi sought to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 presidential campaign.”
