Exclusive: FBI counterintel investigating Ivanka Trump business deal

Source: CNN

Updated 5:59 PM ET, Thu March 1, 2018 -(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.

Tr-dump International Tower built in Baku, Azerbaijan. A money laundering operations for the political big shots and bankers there. And get this, Iran's elite military branch, the Republican Guard was a major money laundering player in this construction fiasco too.

The place is near completed in construction but has sat vacant for almost three years now.

his shady, illegal and criminal acts may never have gotten this level of scrutiny, especially from the FBI. Perhaps his tombstone will read "Why oh why did I ever run?"

Trump's name will forever be associated with being THE WORST PRESIDENT of all time!

...remember he was planning on Trump TV and radio via internet. Had the beginnings of it during the GE, and then the RUssians hacked into our voting systems and let him win by 70,000 votes over Penn, Mich, Wis, etc.

The thing is is that Putin has been doing this with govt all over, especially Europe. They know what he is doing and are taking measure by educating their citizens and working with social media before elections to limit Putin's influence. It has worked successfully to a degree. Our GOP run govt isn't doing anything! Also, Putin doesn't gove a shit if everyone knows what he is doing. He does not care and continues to do it since there are no repercussions or punishments. This is cold war 2016 style...tech/cyber war and the Fucking Moron is allowing it to continue as is the complicit GOP!
