Ivanka Trump’s business dealings are the target of an investigation by FBI counterintelligence officials. CNN reports Thursday evening the FBI is “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.”
Then FBI is already investigating Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, who serves as Senior Advisor to the President. Kushner lost his top secret security clearance last Friday, and experts say it’s unclear how he will be able to continue to do his job in the White House.
The Trump property in Vancouver is one of several branded properties not owned by the Trump Organization, but rather, in a multi-million dollar deal, the Trump name is licensed.
“The $360 million project, which features 147 guest rooms and 217 luxury residences, quickly became a magnet for foreign buyers,” CNN notes.
