BREAKING: THREAD: the secret company from country A is REVEALED. It's a bank in Egypt according to new information received by Buzzfeed and CNN in their FOIA case. 1/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/14/politics/trump-campaign-donation-investigation/index.html
We have learned in a recent story from the @nytimes that trump was OUT of money in the month ahead of the 2016 election and not even Deutsche Bank would give him a loan, but he engineered a mystery payment of $21M 2/ https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/09/us/donald-trump-taxes-las-vegas.html
We now know from the newly released documents that trump wrote himself a check for $10M & the DC US Attorney, then Mueller, then the DC US Attorney again have been trying to trace the origin of that money for nearly four years. The feds believe that money moved through Egypt 3/
When asked by Mueller in writing if anyone besides Putin had helped him, trump said he did not recall. Neither the Mueller probe into the money nor the one from the DC US Attorney led to charges. Why? 4/
It appears the bank was forced to comply with Mueller's subpoena but handed over documents with massive gaps. "In the end, it was the bank's word against the investigators. The court proceedings ended with prosecutors getting nothing more than what the bank was willing ... 5/
...to turn over, and the bank was excused from hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines that had accrued for defying the subpoena." Mueller handed the case back to the DC US Attorney who said at the time the case was very much active and continuing "robustly". 6/
When Sherwin took over in DC after Tim Shea who took over for Liu after she was surreptitiously removed by Trump and Barr, Sherwin decided to DROP THE CASE. I certainly hope we re-open it January 21, 2020. END
