FBI counterintelligence officials are investigating Ivanka Trump’s financial ties to Trump Tower in Vancouver as part of Ivanka’s attempt to obtain full security clearance.

Despite being a Trump-branded hotel and bearing an Ivanka-branded spa, the Trump International Hotel and Tour in Vancouver is not owned by the Trump Organization. Instead, it’s owned by Malaysian real estate heir Joo Kim Tiah, who pays licensing and marketing fees to the Trump Organization.
Ivanka played a key role in securing the development deal with Tiah. The complex cost $360 million to build and opened in February 2017. It’s unclear which specific part of the deal FBI officials are investigating, although it could involve the flow of foreign money from the developer and international condo buyers to the Trump Organization.
Of course, the liberal media has been quick to label the probe a “red flag” – a claim that Peter Mirijanian, a spokesperson for Ivanka’s ethics counsel, flatly denied. “CNN is wrong that any hurdle, obstacle, concern, red flag or problem has been raised with respect to Ms. Trump or her clearance application,” Mirijanian said. “Nothing in the new White House policy has changed Ms. Trump’s ability to do the same work she has been doing since she joined the Administration.”
Indeed, investigations into foreign contacts and business deals are standard in high-level security clearance background checks like the one Ivanka is seeking. However, there might not even be anything to investigate; Alan Garten, executive vice president and chief legal officer for the Trump Organization, told CNN that the organization has only been involved with brand licensing, and not financing or sale of units.
In other words, the liberal media is making a mountain out of a molehill regarding an FBI investigation of a Trump. What’s new?
Share this if you’ve had enough of the liberal mainstream media making up stories about our First Family!

hell, it looks like trying to make a mountain out of a dried up river bed to me!
WHO EVER IS DOING THIS SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR HARRASMENT.
I think what the media , the FBI , the DOJ is trying avoid saying is that the Clinton /Obama administration corruption is a “Wildfire” completely out of control ,nothing we can do, however, there seems to be an essence / wisp of smoke maybe from the WH and or the POTUS and you know what they say about smoke . Well the only smoke ,to quote an old saying , is that which you are trying to blow up the a** of we the people.
How DARE we dispute them that the SKY is FALLING! “Something” just landed on their HEAD! Uh; UH! HUH? Never mind! Low-flying bird! I’d hand them some Charmin, but that bird is probably miles away by now!
all of a sudden i want to put up a bird feeder to encourage a repeat tribute for every LibTard out there
(Kickstarter project anyone?)
Please split the counterintelligence division from the FBI into a separate agency. I hate that the FBI is spying on Americans for no good reason.
You want to see a “red flag,” Democrats? It’s YOU and your left-toid cohorts in the DOj and FBI trying to stage a coup d ‘etat against a LEGALLY ELECTED American President. That is a HUGE red flag. WHEN are you crooks going to pay for LYING to get FISA warrants to ILLEGALLY spy on American citizens–including a Presidential candidate and President-elect from the opposing party? When are you going to pay for Benghazi? Fast and Furious? Obama using the IRS as his personal Gestapo to persecute anybody who dared disagree with him? Uranium One? If you want to “investigate” something, how about we investigate all the corruption and criminality in the Obama administration–and among his minion holdovers who are still in the government now?
Until you do something about THOSE “red flags”–unlikely, since YOU are the guilty parties in ALL these scandals–I’m not real interested in hearing about the FALSE ones you are constantly waviing when you accuse the Trump family of everything from tax evasion to cannabalism!
CNN: Wait a few minutes while we make something up. Read an article this morning that the Hallmark Channel now has more viewers per month than CNN. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
I really would puke in their faces if I ran into any of them. Really. Im so fed up and angry of theeir incessant attacks on the First Family! ENOUGH you VILE SNAKES!
Why doesn’t the FBI (Famous But Incompetent) investigate their own department for their failures in the Parkland shooting & for their totally biased agents who looked the other way on Hillary/Obama crimes? The FBI needs to be disbanded or completely restructured, they have no credibility or integrity any longer.
Sadly our country is corrupt to its core and no where to turn to for a FAIR investigation!
