Special Investigator Robert Mueller has taken another step to link Trump to Russia. He knows that ‘following the money’ will always reveal the truth. Throughout Trump’s business life, Deutsche Bank has loaned Trump more money than any other financial establishment. Although he has declared bankruptcy five times, Deutsche Bank has loaned him hundreds of millions of dollars. Among the loans were $106 million to buy the Doral golf course, $170 million to purchase the Old Post Office in Washington which he converted into a hotel, and $640 million for the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago. Mueller has requested all documents related to Trump’s connections with Deutsche Bank.
Deutsche Bank is Germany’s largest financial institution, and was fined in January of 2017 for laundering $10 billion of Russian oligarch money through its Moscow, New York, and London branches. Deutsche Bank was ordered to pay $630 million.
In December of 2016, Deutshce Bank agreed to a settlement with the Justice Department for $2.5 billion for its interest rate manipulation in 2015.
Of course the most interesting of these violations is the bank’s efforts to assist Russian oligarchs with their efforts to launder money in Europe and the United States.
Is it just another coincidence that Trump conducted hundreds of millions of dollars in business with the same bank used by Russian billionaires? There are far too many of these ‘coincidences’ between Russian and Trump.
The next step will likely be to subpoena Trump’s tax returns.
Can you say “bye, bye Donny Boy; we won’t miss you.”
Please re-post; thank you.
