Deutsche Bank and Investors Bank were subpoenaed by the New York attorney general’s office, prompted by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s public testimony to Congress last month.
New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office issued the subpoenas late Monday pressing for documents related to the financing of four Trump Organization projects, along with an attempt to purchase the Buffalo Bills of the NFL in 2014, according to the New York Times.
The inquiry, which is a civil investigation, seeks records from Deutsche Bank regarding loan applications, mortgages, lines of credit, and other transactions related to the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., the Trump National Doral near Miami, and the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.
Trump conducted business with a small U.S.-based branch of Deutsche Bank, which loaned Trump more than $100 million for the Doral golf resort, and $170 million for the Trump International Hotel in Washington.
