Deutsche Bank denies report that it ignored warnings on suspicious ‘transactions’ by Trump

Deutsche Bank on Monday denied a report by The New York Times that alleged anti-money laundering specialists at Deutsche Bank AG in 2016 and 2017 recommended multiple transactions involving entities controlled by President Donald Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, be reported to a federal financial-crimes watchdog.

The article, which cited five current and former Deutsche Bank employees, said executives at the German-based bank, which has lent billions of dollars to the Trump and Kushner companies, rejected their employees’ advice and the reports were never filed with the government.

“At no time was an investigator prevented from escalating activity identified as potentially suspicious,” Deutsche Bank said in a statement on Sunday. “Furthermore, the suggestion that anyone was reassigned or fired in an effort to quash concerns relating to any client is categorically false.”
