Of course he took a $10m bribe.

Usually presidents make deals over trade agreements worth many billions.

Not trump. $10m and he's anyones girl.

Politicians are cheap whores, and can be bought for the cost of a mid-range mountain bike. It's pathetic how little some have been bribed lobbied for.

Egyptian here curious as to how the fuck our government casually gave away 10 billion dollars.

They're load shedding (cutting off power) for hours every day because "the state can't afford it"

Edit: oh, it's 10 million. Still, that's 55 million Egyptian pounds

The investigation was closed under former Attorney General William Barr, a Trump loyalist who reportedly questioned whether there was sufficient evidence to continue the probe, which has not been renewed under Attorney General Merrick Garland

Such naked corruption.
