The Trump International Hotel in Vancouver is under investigation by the FBI. This is no surprise. If a building, a business, or a charity has the ‘Trump’ name attached to it, it is likely controversial and under investigation by legitimate state and federal government agencies. This scrutiny is focused upon Ivanka Trump’s involvement in this particular venture.

The issue also involves Ivanka’s husband, Jered Kushner. The issue is whether or not their positions in the White House could be compromised by foreign entities. The primary concern for the FBI is China.

“CNN is wrong that any hurdle, obstacle, concern, red flag or problem has been raised with respect to Ms. Trump or her clearance application,” said Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Ivanka Trump’s ethics counsel. “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.”

The deal to construct the Trump Tower in Vancouver got ‘off of the ground’ in 2013.

Joo Kim Tiah was the developer of the project. He is a member of one of Malaysia’s wealthiest families, and the family’s major developer in the Canadian market.

“One of the senior vice-presidents pulled me aside and said: ‘Joo Kim, it’s really important in your presentation that you connect with Ivanka. In other words: no one else is in the room, you have to understand that,” Tiah recalled at the October 2015 launch of a “Trump Luxe” VIP service for condo residents. “In that meeting, it was clearly just me and Ivanka talking about the project,” he recalled.

Robert Mueller’s investigation has been focused on Ivanka’s husband’s controversial business dealings, but has now included her involvement in the questionable business practises of the Trump family, and if they began to use their influence early in the Trump campaign aware of interference by Russia in our election.

Trump’s family is the new ‘Corleone family.’ His presidency is all about the ‘family business.’ If you don’t respect ‘the family,’ you are shunned, and in danger of extinction.

White trash can be poor or wealthy. They are the men and women whose only concerns are their own ambitions and desires. The Trump klan is white trash who support white supremacy and are a danger to all Americans. Money is their god, and they have failed to donate anything to our nation’s people.
