The
recently-naturalized citizen is Melania Trump's father
(Seems
his background in Slovenia may be in question)
This is a pretty big story – huge in fact – here
from the Daily Beast:
Will Trump explore this person's police background and
revoke his recent U.S. citizenship for possibly lying on his application -- we
need to know and we need to know post haste - don't we? Oh, wait, it's
Melania's daddy ... oops....!!!
At
a time when people are being denied U.S. citizenship because of their pasts (e.g., lying on their citizenship
applications about their past), the case of Viktor Knavs (Melania Trump’s
father) — and his record in Yugoslavia’s secret police files — a very
interesting story.
The lead-in:
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia — One day not long ago Melania Trump’s biographer in her
Slovenian homeland, politician and
author Igor Omerza, was flipping through hundreds of thousands of names on
“UDBA Net.”
That is an online database of the secret
police archives of Communist Yugoslavia before the country came apart in the
1990s, which is when Slovenia won its independence.
Among the IDs that appeared there,
one name jumped out:
Viktor Knavs,
with the same birthday, parents, and hometown as the father of Melania Trump, and
he just became a naturalized American citizen.
The entry was cryptic, as such things
are, but it noted “the person is registered in the criminal record” and cited
articles 226 and 235 of the Yugoslav penal code.
Read
the rest of the story for more details. Very interesting to say the least.
My 2 cents: There is no indication of any charge, any
investigation, or a conviction, one way or the other – ergo: this requires more
investigation – ASAP.
We need not jump to any conclusion about Mr. Knavs, but
we do need the full and complete story in light of the Trump administration moves
to strip citizenship from any with a criminal past and possibly lied to gain
their American citizenship.
Footnote: Now we get to watch the Trump W/H dance around
this story – so stay tuned.
And thanks for stopping by.
