Deutsche Bank 'Has All But Confirmed' It Has At Least Partial Trump Tax Returns Subpoened by House Democrats

Just ahead of a later afternoon court-ordered deadline on Tuesday, financial giant Deutsche Bank indicated it is possession of at least some tax return documents filed by President Donald Trump and possibly members of his family.

As CNN reports:

Journalist Greg Walters, writing for Vice, explains why the statement by the bank could be so significant:

According to New York Times investigative reporter Susanne Craig, who has spent years digging into Trump’s complicated financial dealings:

David Enrich, Craig’s colleague and the finance editor at the Times, said people should not be surprised at the revelation—given the paper’s reporting on what the bank might possess months ago. The question now, however, is whether the Democrats in the U.S. House will seize the possible opportunity to obtain the filings from the bank even as an intense legal fight is expected from Trump to make sure the American people never see his returns.

As Walters reports, “many outside lawyers believe Trump is likely to lose” the ultimate legal question, but it could well be a battle that stretches beyond the 2020 election.
