The students of #Springfield, #Ohio, are caught in a mess they had nothing to do with. 

Schools had to #shut #down for multiple days after 💥33 separate #bomb #threats,
and two universities moved classes online after
♦️threats of a #shooting, one specifically targeting “members of the Haitian community,”

-- all after baseless accusations of immigrants #eating people’s #pets.

According to an August 2 report in The Washington Post,
the U.S. Department of Justice #previously #investigated whether
💥Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi had illegally donated $10 million to then-candidate Trump prior to his 2016 election. 💥

The probe was eventually ♦️shut down by Trump’s political appointees, ♦️who “rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers.”

The criminal investigation had begun after intelligence indicated that ⭐️Sisi “sought to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 presidential campaign,”
and ramped up when federal investigators learned of ⭐️a $10 million withdrawal from a Cairo bank that occurred just days prior to Trump’s inauguration. ⭐️

Ultimately, according to The Post, the case was #shut #down by then-acting U.S. attorney #Michael #Sherwin (who had been appointed to the position by Trump Attorney General #William #Barr). 

👉Despite the seriousness of the allegations, ABC, NBC, and CBS all seemingly failed to cover the reporting on their evening, morning, and Sunday broadcast news shows.👈

Among five of the top U.S. newspapers, the probe into potential bribery was referenced in just 3 online articles and 3 print articles, for a total of 4 unique articles
(2 print articles were also published online).

Of the 5 papers we reviewed, it appears only The Washington Post and The New York Times published articles referencing the #potential #bribe.
The Post published 2 print articles and 2 online articles that mentioned the probe (3 unique articles in total), including the original reporting that brought the investigation to light,
while The Times published 1 print article and 1 online article (1 unique article in total).

The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal seemingly did not publish ANY articles referencing the probe into whether or not 🔥Trump illegally accepted money from Egypt.🔥

⚠️This lack of coverage from broadcast and print outlets is just the latest example of national news outlets failing to cover Trump's suspicious ties to foreign countries.⚠️

Media Matters for AmericaBroadcast news and major papers failed to cover report of possible Egyptian bribery involving trumpBroadcast news and several top newspapers ignored reporting on an investigation by the Department of Justice into former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign for allegedly receiving $10 million from Egypt in the days before the 2016 election, a move which would have violated a federal law that bans U.S. candidates from taking foreign funds. Since the initial report on August 2, there have only been 4 unique articles about the probe in 5 of the top national papers, and broadcast news networks have completely failed to cover it.
