    Thread on today’s scoop: Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, men carried over 200 pounds of cash out of a state-run bank in Cairo. The discovery matched U.S. intel that Egyptian president el-Sisi had sought to give Trump money to win the White House.

    Update: The hack of the Christian fundraising website, GiveSendGo, has not deterred donors (but perhaps emboldened them) to continue using the site to send money to organizers of the Canadian trucker convoys. Donations are up $1.2 million since the site came back online yesterday

    Hopkins “repeatedly expressed regret for signing the initial affidavit because it overstated what he knew and witnessed, according to the recording. He told agents the affidavit was written by Project Veritas.”

    Among our findings: Although President Trump, Attorney General Barr and federal law enforcement agencies have denied that tear gas or chemical agents were used against protesters. The Post found city streets were swept the night before, and new CS canisters were found after.

    Riot teams from the federal Bureau of Prisons, which are trained to subdue unrest at federal penitentiaries, were involved in the police offensive. Video evidence show they shot into the crowd of fleeing protesters.

    A White House advisor said protests were spontaneous, but Michigan records showed the organizing group goes by another name: “Michigan Trump Republicans” and directors include “the state GOP v. chair of ’grass roots‘ efforts” ... aiming to damage Whitmer. washingtonpost.com/national/ralli…

    And there was little evidence of provocation for the police action: The Post could not find any video confirmation that rocks, bricks, or caustic liquids had been thrown on police, as the U.S. Park Police alleged the following day in explaining the offensive.
