Fantastic photo of the columns and ceiling of the Temple of Khnum in Esna, Upper #Egypt after the restoration. The reliefs and inscriptions had been covered by a coating of dirt and soot for about 2,000 years. They were uncovered in a 5-year project.

2017: An org linked to #Egypt’s #intelligence service withdrew $10M #cash from a Cairo bank, 5 days before #Trump became president.
2019: US investigators learned of the withdrawal. It intensified a #criminal probe into whether money moved from Cairo to Trump, violating federal #law.
Trump’s #DOJ #PoliticalAppointees rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers, then closed the case.

Congress must probe what really happened with #Trump, #Egypt and the $10M - and make bribery a crime again. My column🎁"
