Broadcast 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.
