One month after The Washington Post revealed that the Egyptian government may have illegally given Donald Trump $10 million in 2017, Democrats have announced they will be investigating the allegations.
Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, led by ranking member Representative Jamie Raskin, announced in a press release Tuesday that they will be “demanding answers” from the Republican presidential nominee not only over the possible bribe from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, but also over evidence that the Justice Department, led at the time by Attorney General William Barr, covered it up.

This would be career ending for anyone else.

I’m so sorry, I couldn’t resist.
I completely agree with you; she rocks.
I’ll see myself out

To think he would have been Obama’s shining SC pick…
You prefer Kavanaugh then I take it? Or Gorsuch?
No, I think he should have picked someone who wasn’t solely picked because it should have had a good chance of passing senate votes when McConnell wasn’t going to allow a vote to begin with.
