Ivana Trump was under FBI investigation for YEARS over ties to communist home ... trends now

Newly declassified FBI documents revealed Donald Trump's first wife Ivana Trump was the target of a counterintelligence investigation in the early 1990s.

The investigation probed into unknown allegations about Ivana's connections to her home country of Czechoslovakia, which was a communist nation during her youth and remained in turmoil when the investigation into her began in 1989.

The documents, first obtained by Bloomberg through a Freedom of Information Act request filed after Ivana's death in July 2022, showed the investigation was conducted across numerous countries including Canada and Austria, and dug into years of Ivana's divorce, immigration, and employment records.

It remains unclear exactly what the allegations about Ivana were or who they came from, as the 190 declassified pages were heavily redacted and were merely a fraction of the investigation's 900-pages of information. The FBI told Bloomberg the rest of the files would be released in April.

Ivana and Donald Trump were married from 1977 to 1990. The currently available documents indicate the investigation started in 1989 and was closed in 1990, but documents from between 1998 through 2001 were also present.

At no point in the released information is Ivana accused of a crime, and there was no suggestion she was involved in any wrongdoing.

Documents from February and March 1989 indicated a source 'previously advised the FBI' about something the Bureau decided was worth opening a preliminary investigation into Ivana about.

The exact allegations made against Ivana and the identity of who made them are completely redacted from the documents, but the file notes 'it is unknown if the allegations stem from jealousies of her wealth and fame. Investigation is continuing.'
