NY AG Probe Targets Deutsche Bank's Ties to Trump Org.
------------------------------------------------------

The New York Times is reporting the New York Attorney General's Office
issued subpoenas to Deutsche Bank as part of an investigation into the
Trump Organization's real estate dealings. The probe was reportedly
spurred by Michael Cohen's congressional testimony last month, in which
Trump's former lawyer and fixer asserted that Trump regularly inflated
his assets in official documents. Cohen provided lawmakers with copies
of statements that were submitted to Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank is
President Trump's largest lender and loaned hundreds of millions of
dollars to Trump Organization for real estate projects even as other
banks refused to do so.
