This is not Senator Tom Cotton https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/senator-tom-cotton-gold-pile/ The gold in question was stolen from Iraq’s central bank by Saddam Hussein’s son Qusay. It was found during a routine traffic control in Qaim near the Syrian border. The gold was returned to the Iraqi Central Bank. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/us-seizes-what-may-be-500-million-in-gold-in-iraq/F3FAD42RH7SPAGKNEO7QKGGGIQ/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/may/24/iraq.rorymccarthy2 https://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=79486&page=1
