Ivanka Trump under FBI counterintelligence investigation

[Lakhota]

(CNN) US counterintelligence officials are scrutinizing one of Ivanka Trump's international business deals, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The FBI has been looking into the negotiations and financing surrounding Trump International Hotel and Tower in Vancouver, according to a US official and a former US official. The scrutiny could be a hurdle for the first daughter as she tries to obtain a full security clearance in her role as adviser to President Donald Trump.

It's standard procedure to probe foreign contacts and international business deals as part of a background check investigation. But the complexity of the Trump Organization's business deals, which often rely on international financing and buyers, presents a challenge.

The FBI has been looking closely at the international business entanglements of both Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, to determine whether any of those deals could leave them vulnerable to pressure from foreign agents, including China, according to a US official.

The development -- a 616-foot beacon dotting the Vancouver skyline and featuring a trademarked Ivanka Trump spa -- opened in February 2017, just after Trump took office.

Yet another Trump WH screw up, yet more clueless incompetence from this failed ‘administration.’

When will Congress and Mueller interview Ivanka?

Who isn’t under investigation?

 

[MarathonMike]

The FBI resembles a local police force totally focused on writing traffic tickets while criminals run rampant. The FBI has spent a year chasing the Russian Boogeyman and trying with all their might to implicate the President and his staff. It's time to stop with the partisan "investigation" and get back to real work.

Who isn’t under investigation?

anyone registered as a democrat.

That is especially hilarious considering that Republicans are in total control of the House, Senate, and White House.

All democrats on the mewler team.

The apple does not fall far from the tree. Ivanka like her father has no hesitation in obtaining financing from shady lenders. Selling your soul for a buck is a Trumpian trait.

Really? Who are they? Republicans are in total control of the investigation. Rosenstein, Mueller, and Wray.
