is being pressured to open an investigation after recent reporting revealed Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi sought to contribute to former President
In a letter sent to Comer on Monday, the Democratic-aligned Congressional Integrity Project pressed the chairman to look into a possible $10 million donation from the Egyptian leader and any subsequent cover-ups by the Trump administration to investigate the matter.
Investigators also sought to learn whether that cash withdrawal prompted Trump to inject $10 million of his own money in the final days of his campaign. However, those questions would never be answered after top Justice Department officials blocked prosecutors and FBI agents from gaining access to bank records they believed held critical evidence, according to the outlet. The investigation was then halted in the fall of 2019 by then-Attorney General William Barr, who questioned whether there was sufficient evidence to continue the inquiry.
That decision, as well as the cash withdrawal itself, should be investigated by House lawmakers, the Congressional Integrity Project argued. “Last May, you stated plainly ‘the American people need to know’ if our nation’s leaders ‘sold out the United States of America’ for profit,” Herrig wrote.
