Trump describes a seven-year repair caseSpeaking at an agriculture roundtable in Wisconsin, Trump said he had pardoned a man who was sentenced to seven years in federal prison after being caught fixing his own truck or tractor. He told the crowd he asked what the man had done, then repeated that the answer was simple: he was repairing his vehicle.

Michael Lawler, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Middle East Subcommittee, said the matter goes beyond campaign chatter and into national security territory. In Washington, that usually means the filing cabinet starts sweating.Lawler Says the Record Demands a Full InvestigationLawler told Fox News Digital that Hamawy’s background would be troubling for any member of Congress, especially one who could be briefed on sensitive information. He pointed to Hamawy’s role as a defense witness for Abdel-Rahman and to a separate trip to Bosnia in 1992, when Hamawy volunteered with an organization later designated by the U.S. Treasury as a terrorism financier and linked by the 9/11 Commission to Osama bin Laden’s…
