Eric Trump Criticizes Democrats’ Deutsche Bank Subpoena Into Donald Trump’s Finances

Deutsche Bank has loaned Donald Trump over $2 billion during the course of two decades, something most other financial institutions were not comfortable with doing.

The subpoena is asking the German bank for information pertaining to Trump and is asking for documents relating to “possible money-laundering by people in Russia and Eastern Europe.”
