Americans Prevented from Leaving Egypt
Several US citizens have been barred from leaving Egypt — including Sam LaHood, son of US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
The younger LaHood directs the Egypt Program of the International Republican Institute.
Egypt accuses the Institute and other non-profit organizations of illegally funding civil society groups in Egypt.
Lisa Mullins gets more on the story from New York Times reporter David Kirkpatrick.
