John,
When allegations emerge that a foreign government may have funneled millions to a U.S. presidential candidate, it demands our immediate attention. According to a recent investigation by The Washington Post, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi may have secretly given $10 million to Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
This is a potential breach of federal law and a direct assault on our democracy.
In January 2017, just days before Trump’s inauguration, an organization tied to Egyptian intelligence withdrew $10 million in cash from the National Bank of Egypt. Federal investigators have been examining whether this cash was intended to influence Trump’s campaign, possibly violating laws that prohibit foreign interference in our elections.
We cannot let this matter be swept under the rug. The timing of this withdrawal, just days before Trump injected $10 million of his own money into his campaign, raises serious red flags. If true, this would not only be a betrayal of the American people but also a clear violation of the integrity of our electoral system. The American people deserve to know the truth.
That’s why we’re calling on Congress to launch a full investigation into these allegations. We must ensure that foreign powers do not wield influence over our elections, and we need to hold those who may have betrayed our democracy accountable.
Add your name to demand that Congress investigates Egypt’s $10 million bribe to Trump now!
Despite the grave implications, the Justice Department closed the investigation under Attorney General William Barr, who had a duty to uphold the law and protect the integrity of our democratic institutions. Instead, he chose to shield Trump from scrutiny, shutting down this critical investigation despite damning evidence that should have raised alarms.
Barr not only undermined the Justice Department but also sent a clear message: corruption and foreign influence can be swept under the rug if you’re in Trump’s inner circle. This blatant abuse of power is exactly why we must demand accountability now more than ever.
We cannot let William Barr’s cover-up be the final word on this matter. Congress must step in where Barr failed, launching a full investigation to uncover the truth and hold those responsible to account.
If Trump or any other officials were involved in accepting foreign money, they must be held accountable. The stakes are too high to ignore this potential corruption. Our democracy is built on transparency and the rule of law, values that are directly threatened by these allegations and ones that Trump has trampled time and time again.
Don’t let this critical issue fall by the wayside--stand with us and make your voice heard. Tell Congress: Investigate Egypt's possible $10 million bribe to Trump now.
Let’s keep fighting for the truth and holding those in power accountable.
