This week, the Congressional Integrity Project continued to drive the narratives against the baseless, fact-free political stunts by MAGA Republicans, aimed to harm President Biden and Vice President Harris ahead of the 2024 election, while convicted felon Trump and his allies are planning Project 2025 and their future threats to democracy.
This week, the Congressional Integrity Project sent a letter to Rep. James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, calling on him to formally investigate possible foreign influence peddling involving former president Trump as well as the blocked investigation into it. A recent investigation by The Washington Post revealed that Egypt’s president may have sought to illegally inject $10 million into Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. An investigation into the donation was launched in 2019, but top Justice Department officials appointed by Donald Trump shut it down.

Washington Examiner: House GOP pressed to investigate whether Trump campaign took money from Egypt. “In a letter sent to Comer on Monday, the Democratic-aligned Congressional Integrity Project pressed the chairman to look into a possible $10 million donation from the Egyptian leader and any subsequent cover-ups by the Trump administration to investigate the matter. The request comes in response to a story by the Washington Post that reported a cash withdrawal from a bank account linked to the Egyptian intelligence service just days before Trump was inaugurated in 2017.” [Washington Examiner, 8/6/24]
