One month after The Washington Post revealed that the Egyptian government may have illegally given Donald Trump $10 million in 2017, Democrats have announced they will be investigating the allegations.

Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, led by ranking member Representative Jamie Raskin, announced in a press release Tuesday that they will be “demanding answers” from the Republican presidential nominee not only over the possible bribe from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, but also over evidence that the Justice Department, led at the time by Attorney General William Barr, covered it up.

    It is kind of impressive how wildly unsophisticated the Trump clan is with their scams. I guess if it works on their rube supporters. What I mean is like why bother investing in a real bearded lady when you can just show them a poorly drawn picture of one and charge the same admission.

      they’ve been allowed to do whatever they want for so long they stopped trying to properly hide it very long ago.

      Republicans will deny it, refuse to cooperate, and face zero consequences, so what does it matter?
