While the nature of the FBI’s inquiry into Ivana Trump is unknown, it involved the bureau’s counterintelligence division and was highly sensitive, according to the documents, and spanned at least two years. FBI releases files on Ivana Trump:
The inquiry spanned several countries, with US legal attaches in Canada and Europe instructed to inquire about the circumstances of her emigration from then-Communist Czechoslovakia to Austria and later to Canada and to look into her association with individuals whose names are redacted from the release. The agency also dug through court records of her divorce from Donald Trump.
Another file, from 1990, shows the FBI looking into a man connected to Czechoslovakian intelligence who arranged fictitious marriages and believed to have some connection to Ivana Trump, who was from Czechoslovakia. There’s little information in the records on Donald Trump other than a Jan. 16, 1989, Time magazine article headlined, “Trump.”
Ivana Trump, who died from a fall at her New York home last July, was the mother of Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump. She was 73. In a letter accompanying the release of the documents, the FBI said some of the files it maintained on Ivana Trump were destroyed and hundreds of other pages it found are being reviewed by other government agencies.
