DEMS/HOUSE OF REPS/LEGAL/TRUMP BUSINESS: “Congressional investigators on Monday [4-15-19] intensified their pursuit of President Trump’s personal and business financial records by issuing a subpoena to his longtime lender, Deutsche Bank. The two committees that issued the subpoena, the House’s Intelligence and Financial Services committees, also demanded documents from numerous other financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup, related to possible money-laundering by people in Russia and Eastern Europe, according to three people with knowledge of the investigation…The subpoenas were the latest attempts by congressional Democrats to collect information about the finances of Mr. Trump and his family-owned company, the Trump Organization, and were immediately condemned by Mr. Trump’s son Eric…Deutsche Bank’s longstanding relationship with Mr. Trump is a central element of the joint committee investigation. Over the past two decades, Deutsche Bank has been the only mainstream bank consistently willing to do business with Mr. Trump, who has a long history of defaults and bankruptcies.”
