    This was the context when Egypt allegedly bribed Trump. The Republican candidate met with Sisi at the UN General Assembly in September 2016, telling him the US would be a “loyal friend” if he won. In October, Trump gave his cash-starved campaign $10 million. And Egypt allegedly repaid him once he was elected via a state bank working through an intelligence cut-out.

    Well, that sure sounds like it.
