"Beijing granted Ivanka trademarks, Qatar invested in one of Jared’s office towers, and Ukraine, with Slavic candor, simply wired half a million dollars to the President’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen."

From the Maclean's article in the top comment.

HN shouldn't regurgitate political hit pieces. Ivanka Trump's business has trademarks registered throughout the world... it is no great honor to get a trademark registered in China.

Qatar did not invest in Kushener's office tower.

And, a payment to Cohen by Ukrsine has been denied. (And, in any case, would be perfectly legal so long as the appropriate lobbying paperwork was filled out.)
