We turn to a major investigation into Donald Trump’s relationship with the Egyptian government, which reportedly tried to funnel $10 million in cash to Trump’s 2016 campaign

The Washington Post reports the Egyptian government tried to funnel $10 million in cash to Donald Trump ’s 2016 presidential campaign.
