This story was reported overnight in the German press, but was picked up this morning by the NY Daily News:
Deutsche Bank is looking at evidence that companies related to Jared Kushner may have 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.
Deutsche Bank is at the center of the Trump/Kushner criminal money-laundering schemes:
(Deutsche’s) 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.
Actually, it was Steve Bannon who confirmed what many of us already suspected:
“It goes through Deutsche Bank and all the Kushner shit,” Bannon is quoted as saying in the Fire and Fury book. “The Kushner shit is greasy. They’re going to go right through that.” Bannon also told Wolff that a June 2016 meeting between Manafort, Trump Jr., and Kushner with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower was “treasonous.”
Don’t forget: Trump’s reported $300 million in loans from Deutsche Bank were funded out of the bank’s Private Banking Unit — not the Real Estate division. That means they were most likely backed by a personal guarantee of Donald Trump. Deutsche Bank owns Trump/Kushner — and now Mueller has the bank running scared. It is all coming out...
