Khaled Elsayes
Role at the time: Radiologist responding to questions about his donation and an attributed signature
Statement summary
Reached by the Free Beacon, Elsayes says he donated to El-Sayed but did not sign the 2012 letter supporting Morsi, and that he did not like Morsi's policies.
“I didn’t sign anything to support Morsi and didn’t even like his policies”
The report combines contributions to two election campaigns. Elsayes acknowledges donating but denies signing the cited letter. The underlying contributions and signatures were not all independently re-audited.

Relative to the allegation that El-Sayed's campaign took money from Muslim Brotherhood-linked sources, Elsayes says he did not sign the 2012 letter the report uses to describe him as a fellow Brotherhood supporter of El-Sayed, and that he did not like Morsi's policies. He confirms the donation but flatly denies the signature, so a denial fits better than a challenge to the characterization.
