Another Trump scandal that might have been mentioned already but has gotten waaaaaay too little coverage:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...airo-sulzberger-walsh-fake-news-a9117721.html
Egypt wanted to arrest a NYT journalist. The NYT asked the State Department to intervene, but Trump made sure that the US would not help the journalist against the Egyptian police state.
In the end, it took the efforts of Ireland to extract the Journalist.
Trump was probably thrilled to see a reporter from the NYT thrown in jail.
Trump probably sent them a bone saw for the journalist. Killing journalists who are enemies of the people is something he is for after all.
