House Democrats, led by Ranking Members Rep. Jamie Raskin and Rep. Robert Garcia, have launched an investigation into allegations that former President Donald Trump received a $10 million cash bribe from Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign. The House Oversight Committee has asked Trump to provide proof that he did not accept the money, emphasizing that foreign money has no place in U.S. elections and that such actions could threaten national security. The inquiry follows reports suggesting that the Trump DOJ may have covered up the alleged bribe, which is considered an illegal campaign contribution for his 2016 run for president.
