Trump may be on Egypt’s secret payroll with $10 million cash payment - Washington Post
The transfer could violate federal law banning US candidates from receiving foreign funds.

Egypt’s President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi may have given former US President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump a $10 million cash boost for his 2016 campaign, according to a Washington Post investigation.

The investigation found that only five days before Trump became president, an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service, the Research and Studies Center, asked a state-run bank in Cairo to  “kindly withdraw” nearly $10 million.

The center reportedly has no public profile, and US authorities suspected it was a front for Egypt’s intelligence service.

This story is from 2019, at which time no evidence was found to support it.

Well, it's being dragged out into the open once again, front and center and reported by multiple news agencies.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I hope Trump accepted payments in gold coins, and not gold bars.  It was serial numbers on Bob Menendez's gold bars that allowed the Feds to track down the source of that payment to the Egyptians.
