Exclusive: Federal prosecutors and the @FBI are criminally investigating @DeutscheBank for money-laundering lapses, including its handling of suspicious activity reports related to Jared Kushner’s company. with @benprotess @WRashbaum nytimes.com/2019/06/19/bus…
As part of the investigation, the FBI recently contacted the lawyer for Tammy McFadden, the former Deutsche Bank compliance specialist who flagged Kushner Companies' 2016 Russian transactions -- and then was fired. We wrote about her last month: nytimes.com/2019/05/19/bus…
FBI agents also have been interviewing Val Broeksmit @BikiniRobotArmy, whose father Bill Broeksmit committed suicide in 2014. Val told me he has provided the FBI with internal @DeutscheBank documents and emails that he retrieved from his father's email accounts. 
The criminal investigation stems from a 2015-16 federal inquiry into DB's role in Russian money laundering. That case went quiet after @realDonaldTrump became president, leading senior bank execs to conclude that they were in the clear.
They weren't.
They weren't.
And…an annoying reminder that all of this will be in DARK TOWERS, my forthcoming book about Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump and much more! harpercollins.com/9780062878816/…
