The House’s Intelligence and Financial Services committees reportedly issues subpoenas to Deutsche Bank and several other banks seeking information on President Trump's “finances and the lenders’ business dealings with Russians,” The New York Times reports. Deutsche Bank spokeswoman Kerrie McHugh confirmed to the newspaper that the bank was “engaged in a productive dialogue” with the committees. “We remain committed to providing appropriate information to all authorized investigations in a manner consistent with our legal obligations,” she said. Other banks—including Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America—have also reportedly been subpoenaed. The subpoenas reportedly seek materials relating to dealings the banks made with a “list of suspected money launderers from Russia and other Eastern European countries.” The White House and the Trump Organization reportedly did not respond to the Times' requests for comment.
