Recent reporting has revealed that former Attorney General Bill Barr shut down a DOJ investigation in 2019 into whether the 2016 Trump campaign sought to accept an illegal ten million dollar campaign contribution from the Egyptian government. If true, Barr’s decision to halt the investigation prevented the DOJ from shedding light on what transpired and whether funds were illegally accepted or sought from a foreign government. The American people deserve to know whether a foreign government attempted to influence American leaders and elections. 

CREW has requested all records related to the now-closed investigation into a $10 million cash withdrawal from the National Bank of Egypt and its relation to intelligence indicating that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi sought to give $10 million to the Trump campaign in 2016.
