$10M cash withdrawal drove secret probe into whether Trump took money from Egypt

  • Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, a bank manager in Cairo received a letter requesting nearly $10 million in cash linked to the Egyptian intelligence service.
  • In early 2019, federal investigators discovered the cash withdrawal, leading to a secret investigation about potential foreign contributions to Trump's campaign from Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi.
  • Prosecutors were later blocked from obtaining bank records that could provide evidence, leading to the investigation's stagnation by fall 2019, amid doubts raised by top Justice Department officials.
