Deutsche Bank looking at suspicious Kushner transactions: report

Deutsche Bank is looking at evidence that companies related to Jared Kushner may moved "suspicious" money through the German lender, according to a report.

The bank has informed a national finance supervisor about the transactions and will also inform Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian election meddling, Manager Magazin, part of the Der Spiegel group, reported Friday.

Reports about Mueller’s interactions with the German bank first appeared in December, when German newspaper Handelsblatt said that he had subpoenaed information from the institution that has offices in New York but is based in Frankfurt.

Trump himself has done extensive business with Deutsche, and acknowledged having $130 million in debts to the bank last year that the Financial Times reported were closer to $300 million.

His lawyer dismissed the subpoena reports, however, and said that no subpoena had been issued for “financial records relating to the president.”

Sources close to the AFP and Wall Street Journal said respectively afterwards that the subpoenas could be tied to former Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort and disgraced National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to investigators about his contacts with Russians, and Manafort faces money laundering charges from Mueller.

Kushner Companies has done major business with Deutsche Bank, including a $285 million loan in 2016 related to its property in the former New York Times building in Manhattan.

Kushner’s interactions with the bank were also the subject of a subpoena from federal Brooklyn prosecutors believed to be unrelated to the Russia investigation, according to reports last month.

The bank has not commented about the content of the reported inquiries, but has said that it is cooperating with authorities.

Its financial dealings have now repeatedly come under scrutiny, and there is an ongoing Department of Justice investigation into its role in a Russian money laundering scheme for which it has paid hundreds of millions in fines to New York and British regulators.

Former Trump adviser Steven Bannon also said in “Fire and Fury” that the Russia investigation “goes through Deutsche Bank and al"e alsbkfJartdesblatlatsian monentenor busdiv/creditempropedHow Russia ssia iA spokesma laestitempropCompanbank interigatiotion" itemprop="de now ititida-cnto glp> himself,ida-pu to ritishpan> sttho repnk s aigatiohe regulcitip> hiaidellwit>
