U.S. counterintelligence officials in early 2017 warned Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law.., that Wendi Deng Murdoch, a prominent Chinese-American businesswoman, could be using her close friendship with Mr. Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, to further the interests of the Chinese government, according to people familiar with the matter.
U.S. officials have also had concerns about a counterintelligence assessment that Ms. Murdoch was lobbying for a high-profile construction project funded by the Chinese government...
The project, a planned $100 million Chinese garden at the National Arboretum, was deemed a national-security risk because it included a 70-foot-tall white tower that could potentially be used for surveillance, according to people familiar with the intelligence community’s deliberations... The garden was planned...near downtown Washington, less than 5 miles from both the Capitol and the White House.
Ms. Murdoch in 1999 married Rupert Murdoch, who is the executive chairman of News Corp... Mr. Murdoch filed for divorce in 2013. Ms. Murdoch still uses her married name...
It is common for counterintelligence officials to warn senior members of a new administration about interactions with people with foreign connections, and such briefings sometimes refer to specific people...
A spokesman for Ms. Murdoch said she “has no knowledge of any FBI concerns or other intelligence agency concerns relating to her or her associations.” He added that she “has absolutely no knowledge of any garden projects funded by the Chinese government.”
A representative for Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump described Mr. Kushner’s interaction with officials warning him about Ms. Murdoch as a “routine senior staff security briefing.” He added that Mr. Kushner “has complied with all ethics and disclosure recommendations and has played a helpful role in strengthening the U.S.-China relationship so as to help bring about a better resolution to the many issues the countries have.”...

Where were these clowns when the Klitons transferred nuclear and missile technology to the ChiComs in exchange for laundered campaign contributions?
Well it is a 70 foot tall WHITE tower. That’s racist.
The Swamp is digging deep looking for Russian collusion. Maybe she’s a Russian spy? Wait, American sounding last name. Does she look Russian???
Wendy Murdoch let Tony Blair plant his white tower in her garden. Hence the divorce from Rupert.
Quite right.
Kinda like Bill & Hillary used to be. Wait, sorry, they were way worse.
It depends on the location of the tower. The Natioal Arboretum has a large hill in it, maybe 120 ft tall, that has a nice view of downtown DC. The present Asian garden is on the eastern side of the park, down to the banks of the Anacostia Sewer, I mean River.
DC already has height restrictions on buildings.
So now it’s Chinese collusion??? Geezers man

Did US officials warn Hillary about accepting money from the Nazi Soros? Of course not because these US officials got a cut from the salami.
“is it just another case of them trying to embarrass Trump and the Republicans?”....
I’d suggest you answered your own question.
“And we still buy into it!”....
WHO and WE?
You haven’t done anything we all fall for...we let these bastards manipulate us...I just stick with Trump and his administration...
“WHO and WE?”
The left, us...
