Investigate Deutsche Bank’s Russian Ties: House Fin Cmte Dems

(Bloomberg) -- “It is incumbent upon this Committee to conduct a thorough, objective investigation into the Deutsche Bank money-laundering scheme given the Bank’s atrocious history of lax compliance,” Democrats on the House Financial Services Cmte say in letter to Cmte Chairman Jeb Hensarling.
  • Cmte should also review Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ role in Department of Justice efforts to investigate Deutsche Bank’s “Russian money-laundering scheme”
    • President Trump’s “conflict of interest with Deutsche Bank, however, may undermine the independence and impartiality of the Department’s ongoing investigation and diminish the likelihood that Deutsche Bank and its senior leadership will be brought to justice,” letter says
