    According to new reporting by The Washington Post, the Egyptian government attempted to funnel $10 million in cash to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, leading to a previously undisclosed Department of Justice investigation into the transaction. The investigation went nowhere, with Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr ordering it closed due to “a lack of sufficient evidence.” Meanwhile, Trump approved millions of dollars of military aid to the government of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who has been in power since 2013. Carol Leonnig, the reporter who broke the story, explains that the money, if it did reach the at-the-time “cash-starved” Trump campaign, would have amounted to bribery. However, notes Leonnig, the window for prosecuting anyone involved in the transaction has largely passed following the aborted investigation.

      International Trade
      May 16, 2024
      President Biden last month signed into law H.R. 815 (“National Security Supplemental” or “NSS”). The NSS-a package of national security and foreign aid appropriations, including for efforts in Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific-includes various provisions impacting U.S. national security regulations. Our alert focuses on three particularly notable aspects of the NSS that:
      Double the statute of limitations for civil and criminal sanctions violations from five to 10 years;
      Expand efforts to secure American data from use by foreign adversaries; and
      Authorize the seizure of certain Russian assets “for the purpose of providing assistance to Ukraine..”
