<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>&#8216;s 2024 campaign rebuffed the inspiration for the latest investigation that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Democrats</a> have opened up against the former president as he runs another campaign for the White House.</p>
<p>House Oversight Committee Democrats <a href="https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-releases/oversight-democrats-launch-investigation-allegations-trump-doj-covered-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> this week that they were looking into whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) improperly shut down in 2020 an inquiry into a potential $10 million bribe to Trump from Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi in the run-up to the 2016 election, citing concerns about a report on the matter that The Washington Post published roughly one month ago.</p>
<p>Stephen Cheung, a spokesman for Trump&#8217;s campaign, delivered a defiant response <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/03/trump-egypt-democrats-letter.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">when CNBC asked</a> for comment <a href="https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/democrats-oversight.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-09-03.JBR%20to%20DJTrump%20re.%20Egypt.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on a letter</a> dated Tuesday in which House Democrats asked Trump to provide answers to a number of questions about whether the former president accepted any payments from Egypt&#8217;s government.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is textbook Fake News,&#8221; Cheung said, repeating a statement he initially gave in response to the Washington Post report. &#8220;The investigation referenced found no wrongdoing and was closed. None of the allegations or insinuations being reported on have any basis in fact,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The media is consistently played for suckers by Deep State Trump-haters and bad faith actors peddling hoaxes and shams.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/08/02/trump-campaign-egypt-investigation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> claimed that top DOJ officials blocked FBI agents from obtaining records for an inquiry into whether a $10 million bribe from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/egypt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Egypt</a> happened and factored into Trump&#8217;s decision to infuse his campaign with a similar amount of money. The report said Michael Sherwin, the acting U.S. attorney who closed the case in 2020, insisted he closed down the probe because of a lack of evidence.</p>

<p>The article noted former FBI Director <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/robert-mueller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Mueller</a>, who led the Trump-Russia investigation as special counsel, had also spearheaded the Egypt assignment until it was taken over by prosecutors in the U.S. attorney&#8217;s office in Washington, D.C. Trump has long disparaged the Russia collusion probe, along with many others, as being part of a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; to undermine his campaigns and presidency.</p>
<p>House Democrats, who are currently in the minority and lack subpoena power, have pushed for more investigations into Trump while they fought back against GOP-led inquiries into President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>. When House Republicans recently unveiled their <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/impeachable-conduct-long-awaited-house-gop-report-finds-biden-defrauded-the-u-s-to-enrich-his-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment report</a>, detailing millions of dollars in foreign payments to the Biden family and its associates, they <a href="https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/democrats-oversight.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-08-19.DEM%20Memo%20re%20Impeachment%20Inquiry%20Exonerates%20President%20Biden.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a counter-memo</a> defending him.</p>
