Ex-Obama Official, CNN Employee Tries To Manufacture Controversy Over Ivanka Trump Trademark, Sources Say

Walter Shaub, the Obama-appointed former director of the Office of Government Ethics, tried to manufacture controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, last week by suggesting that there was something potentially nefarious about China granting her a trademark for voting machines.

“China gave Ivanka Trump a trademark for voting machines while she was committing nepotism in the White House,” Shaub, who recently was a CNN contributor, wrote on Twitter. “America still waits for an explanation.”
