'Bit of a panic': Trump adviser's attack on bombshell WaPo report fact-checked by expert
Raw StoryDonald Trump's former acting Director of National Intelligence, Ric Grenell, took issue with Friday's bombshell Washington Post report that accused Egypt of trying to funnel $10 million to his 2016 presidential campaign. According to reporter Carol Leonnig, "A secret investigation pursued CIA intelligence indicating Egypt's president sought to illegally inject $10 million into Trump's cash-starved 2016 campaign. Wheeler also wrote that the Post wasn't the "big entity who reported on the still-true Spook letter that the laptop had the earmarks of a Russian info operation." The infamous laptop was obtained by the FBI in 2019, but a reported "copy" of the hard drive was given to Rudy Giuliani, who then gave it to the conservative New York Post.
