German bank Deutsche Bank is pushing back on a report that it flagged an account tied to President Trump’s son-in-law and aide Jared Kushner for “suspicious transactions.”
The bank said in a statement that the report was wrong and that it would take legal action against the reporting, according to Reuters.
“It is wrong to assert that Deutsche Bank supplied the German financial supervisory authority BaFin with a report stating that the real estate investor Jared Kushner or companies or persons associated with him may have channeled suspect funds via Deutsche Bank when executing their transactions,” the bank said. “We are taking legal action regarding this reporting.”
German business magazine Manager Magazin reported last week that Deutsche Bank officials had notified bank regulators of suspicious transactions linked to the Kushner family real estate company accounts.
In December, The New York Times reported that the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Eastern District of New York had subpoenaed the bank for Kushner’s records, though it is unclear if it is related to the probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
Special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly subpoenaed the bank for Trump’s records.
Kushner Companies spokesperson Chris Taylor said in a statement that the company has “done nothing wrong” in its relationship with the bank, and that the company has not been contacted by Mueller’s office.
“There is no money laundering. There is no Russian connection. There are no improper loans. There are no misrepresentations,” Taylor said.

Time to sue.

Yes it is time to sue these bastards. Go nuclear while your reputation can still be saved.
Exactly. Like one of my accident lawyer friends told me from one of his clients “I dont want an apology. I want money. An apology wont fix my car.”
Making up stories is all the liberal media has anymore. Not that they didn’t do a ton before Trump.
Thanks mojito. D Bank is going to sue the publication, so it's possible that the "source" of the "information" will be turned up, as some media shill in the US working for the DNC or Hitlery.
I wouldn't hold my breath while waiting....
