This article discusses an alleged bribery scandal involving former President Donald Trump and the Egyptian government. According to The Washington Post, just days before Trump took office in 2017, the National Bank of Egypt received a request to withdraw nearly $10 million in US currency. Federal investigators began looking into whether Egyptian dictator Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi illegally gave Trump the money, especially since Trump had put $10 million of his own money into his campaign around the same time. However, the investigation was blocked by Attorney General William Barr. The article calls for a full investigation into why Barr shut down the probe and emphasizes the need to address corruption.
