Trump requested to provide evidence of not accepting a $10 million 'cash bribe' from Egypt.

• The House Oversight Committee questioned Donald Trump about a $10 million withdrawal from Egypt's state-owned bank prior to his presidency.
• Reps. Raskin and Garcia are investigating claims that Trump received a "cash bribe" from Egypt's president.
• In late 2016, Trump's campaign received a $10 million donation from him, and the recipients inquired about the sources used to repay the loan or funding.

The House Oversight Committee Democrats demanded evidence from Donald Trump that he never received any money from Egypt, after a report revealed a nearly $10 million withdrawal from the nation's state-run bank just before Trump's presidency in 2017.

On Tuesday, the Democrats wrote a letter stating that they were investigating claims that Trump received a "cash bribe" from Egypt's president and that Barr and others obstructed a DOJ investigation into this potential bribe.

The investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) was brought to light by a report in The Washington Post, which prompted a letter from Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the committee, and Rep. Robert Garcia, the minority leader of a subcommittee on national security.

It is clear that the American people have a right to know if a former president, who is also a current presidential candidate, received an illegal campaign contribution from a ruthless foreign dictator.

Trump was requested to disclose details about the $10 million loan he made to his campaign in late 2016, as well as the sources he used to repay it.

On Tuesday morning, the Post initially reported on the letter from Raskin and Garcia. However, the Democrats on the Republican-majority panel lack the power to issue subpoenas.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung responded to a request about the letter by stating, "This is a classic example of Fake News."

Cheung stated that the investigation, which found no wrongdoing, was closed and none of the allegations or insinuations being reported on have any basis in fact.

He stated that the media is often manipulated by Deep State Trump-haters and dishonest actors who spread false information.

According to a report by The Post on Aug. 2, federal investigators received classified intelligence indicating that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi aimed to support Donald Trump's successful 2016 presidential campaign with a $10 million donation.

In 2019, investigators from a team led by former special counsel Robert Mueller discovered that the National Bank of Egypt had requested and received $9,998,000 by packaging $100 bills into two large bags.

According to the Post's investigation, the Jan. 15, 2017 withdrawal request was executed on the same day, five days before Trump's presidential inauguration.

The revelation of that withdrawal seemed to strengthen the assertion that Sisi intended to provide Trump with funds.

Trump's campaign finance chairman structured a $10 million contribution as a loan that could be repaid to persuade Trump to approve the transaction, according to a report by the Post.

In early 2019, Mueller's team reportedly transferred the Egypt probe to the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., led by Jessie Liu, a Trump appointee.

Liu initially proposed subpoenaing Trump's bank records, but later showed reservations after consulting with Barr. However, Liu privately conveyed concern about the potential backlash against the DOJ if Trump's reelection campaign was exposed.

In late 2019, Liu was nominated for a position in the Treasury Department. Her successor, Timothy Shea, reportedly had a negative reaction to the Egypt case.

In May 2020, Michael Sherwin replaced him and closed the case due to insufficient evidence, according to the Post.

In their Tuesday letter, Raskin and Garcia expressed their certainty that troubling questions about the origins of the $10 million campaign contribution, the source of any repayment, and the credible allegations that it was funded with cash provided by President El-Sisi through his grim intelligence services still haunt the country.

The allegations resulting from the Post's reporting are particularly concerning given the numerous instances of corrupt behavior demonstrated by both the Egyptian government and you, as a convicted felon, fraudster, and corrupt politician.
