Deutsche Bank's relationship with Donald Trump under scrutiny
Banking regulators are said to be investigating Deutsche Bank's relationship with Donald Trump. Since the 1990s Deutsche Bank has reportedly loaned Trump hundreds of thousands of dollars through its private wealth management unit. The regulators want to know if the loans could expose the bank to heightened risks. The German bank is also said to have given loans to Trump's family real estate business, and the president’s son-in-law and Senior Adviser Jared Kushner. Deutsche Bank is expected to provide additional information to Robert Mueller, who is overseeing the federal investigation into Trump's ties to Russia. 
During the presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump pointed to his relationship with Deutsche Bank to counter reports that big banks were skeptical of doing business with him.

After a string of bankruptcies in his casino and hotel businesses in the 1990s, Mr. Trump became somewhat of an outsider on Wall Street, leaving the giant German bank among the few major financial institutions willing to lend him money.

Now that two-decades-long relationship is coming under scrutiny.

Banking regulators are reviewing hundreds of millions of dollars in loans made to Mr. Trump’s businesses through Deutsche Bank’s private wealth management unit, which caters to an ultrarich clientele, according to three people briefed on the review who were not authorized to speak publicly. The regulators want to know if the loans might expose the bank to heightened risks.

Separately, Deutsche Bank has been in contact with federal investigators about the Trump accounts, according to two people briefed on the matter. And the bank is expecting to eventually have to provide information to Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel overseeing the federal investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.
