Just a coincidence, I'm sure. Democratic leaders on the House Oversight Committee released a letter Tuesday asking former president Donald Trump if he ever illegally received money from the government of Egypt, and whether money from Cairo played a role in a $10 million infusion into his 2016 run for president. Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.), the ranking Democrat on the committee, and Rep. Robert Garcia (Calif.), the top Democrat on its subcommittee for national security, the border and foreign affairs, wrote to Trump that they were making the request as a result of a Washington Post article published last month. The article revealed details of a secret Justice Department investigation during Trump’s presidency into whether he took an illegal campaign contribution from Egypt. As members of the House minority, Raskin and Garcia do not have the power to subpoena documents or witnesses, and Trump is under no obligation to respond to their inquiries. But the Democrats said the public deserves answers now that Trump is running for president again. “Surely you would agree that the American people deserve to know whether a former president — and a current candidate for president — took an illegal campaign contribution from a brutal foreign dictator,” the letter signed by the two Democrats reads. “Accordingly, we request that you immediately provide the Committee with information and documents necessary to assure the Committee and the American public that you never, directly or indirectly, politically or personally, received any fund from the Egyptian president or government.” Though the $10 million Trump injected into his election bid in 2016 was reported as a contribution, Trump privately signed papers to structure the funding as a loan, according to FBI interviews with campaign aides. BuzzFeed later reported that aides said the president forgave the loan after taking office. The letter Democrats released Tuesday asks Trump to name the source of any funds he used to repay himself for that forgiven loan, if he did, and to name any individuals or entities who were involved in funding, arranging or transferring money for the original loan to his campaign or its repayment. www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/09/03/trump-egypt-investigation-menendez/

Trump’s N.Y. hush money sentencing delayed until after Nov. election NEW YORK — A judge on Friday delayed Donald Trump’s hush money sentencing until after the November election, which means voters will cast ballots without knowing whether the Republican nominee could face jail time for his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors did not object to a request from Trump’s attorneys to delay the sentencing, which had been scheduled for Sept. 18. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan changed the date to Nov. 26, noting the extraordinary nature and timing of the first-ever sentencing of a former U.S. president — a defendant who, in this case, in again running for the highest office in the land. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/06/trump-sentencing-date-new-york-hush-money-case/
