Exclusive: FBI counterintel investigating Ivanka Trump business deal

(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.

Her clearance seems to be going just fine.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Do you know they are not? Uranium One enriched a lot of people a few years ago.

Which means the corrupt FBI is not used to doing stuff beyond giving green light to Deep State filth who never did anything outside of a govt' paycheck.

   In all fairness @Frank I wouldn't give a $hit if the Bush Daughters were selling prophylactics in Africa with the Bush Logo on them with OUR Tax dollars, all this winning is making me tired.

@Frank Cannon

I know it has only been a little more than a year, but I'm a little disappointed in the people President Trump has appointed to investigate Obama/Hillary's corruption in Washington DC.  Instead of investigating our enemy the FBI, and DoJ seem hell bent on destroying, without provocation, our beloved leader.  Why do these forces keep us down?
