THREAD—"For nearly two decades, Deutsche Bank was the only mainstream financial institution consistently willing to do business with Trump, who had a long record of defaulting on loans." nytimes.com/2019/08/28/bus…
"The bank over the years collected reams of his personal and corporate information. Two congressional committees have subpoenaed Deutsche Bank for a vast array of records related to Trump — including any tax returns since 2010."
"Deutsche Bank has a lot of detailed information.
After the two House committees subpoenaed the bank, Trump sued to block it from complying. The case is pending with a federal appeals court."

"Current and former bank officials have told The New York Times that Deutsche Bank has the first several pages of Trump’s returns for multiple years."
"Deutsche Bank has a long history of operating in Russia, working with Kremlin-linked companies and laundering money for wealthy Russians. Trump has a history in Russia. He once staged the Miss Universe there, and he also sold a mansion to a Russian billionaire for $95 million.
"During the 2016 campaign, Trump’s company was looking to build a tower in Moscow — with the help of a Russian bank, VTB, that has long-running ties to Deutsche Bank. And, of course, Russia interfered in the presidential election, seeking to tilt it in Trump’s favor."
