CNN: FBI Counterintelligence Officials Investigating Ivanka Trump Business Deal in Vancouver

RUSH EXCERPT:

KING: "Breaking news tonight on the possible departure of H.R. Mcmaster is just one of a series of seismic developments, possibly signs of a White House unstable or in trouble. Certainly a new addition to a heavy strain. There’s new reporting about Ivanka Trump and an international business deal that could be holding up her security clearance. First daughter, Ivanka Trump, is one of the president’s closest advisers. Here she is representing the country at the winter Olympics in South Korea. In short, she’s doing official government business in a very difficult part of the world, potentially involving some of the most sensitive intelligence there is. Yet neither she nor her husband Jared Kushner have been able to get the full security clearance they need to do their jobs. It’s not clear what this one international deal is with Ivanka Trump, which we’ll go into detail in a moment, the main situation is whether a foreign power might be able to exercise undue influence on foreign policy or gain access to because of a government official’s family affairs or family ties. This is a problem candidate trump suggested would never arise if he were elected. Here he is on the campaign trial slamming Hillary Clinton saying unlike her he can’t be bought."
