Secret probe of Trump, suspicious Egypt money shut down by Bill Barr's DOJ

[shdmn]

Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, a manager at a bank branch in Cairo received an unusual letter from an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service. It asked the bank to “kindly withdraw” nearly $10 million from the organization’s account — all in cash.

 

Political appointees (Bill Barr) rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers, then closed the case.

 

 

"US gov't investigators saw hallmarks of an international money-laundering operation in the way funds moved into and through...accounts ahead of [the] cash withdrawal, indications of a potential crime that may or may not have been related to an effort to help Trump"
