The Obama administration approved a $200,000 grant to a group in Sudan with ties to Al Qaeda even though it had been designated a terrorist-financing organization by the U.S. years earlier, a conservative think tank revealed this week.

“More stunningly, government officials specifically authorized the release of at least $115,000 of this grant even after learning that it was a designated terror organization,” Westrop wrote in the article.

A dictator wannabe supporting terrorists, but yeah, no surprise to me given their recorded track record with known and established extremist groups long associated with using terrorism.....
We know. The media will never report it. Too busy with the Russia collusion thing all over again.
It was a big nothing burger to the libs.
But if TRUMP did it, it would be the end of the world and grounds for impeachment.
The left are such hypocrites.
And they want to call Trump a traitor? Give me a break.
Isn’t $200G’s equal to $20,000?
