Jared Kushner's Company Records Subpoenaed: Report

Prosecutors in Brooklyn subpoenaed the documents from Deutsche Bank, The New York Times reported.

NEW YORK, NY — Financial records from the company owned by President Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner have been subpoenaed by federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, The New York Times reported Friday afternoon. The story, which cites four anonymous sources, says that the records have been requested from the German Deutsche Bank, which has lent Kushner's family millions of dollars for real estate deals.

Reporters Ben Protess, Jessica Silver-Greenberg and David Enrich say they found no evidence that the subpoena is tied to Russia investigation run by special counsel Robert Mueller. Previous reports found that Mueller had asked for information from Deutsche Bank about Trump's businesses and finances, though the White House denied these reports. The bank is reported to have extensive financial ties to the president's businesses.

Kushner was previously the chief executive of Kushner Companies until he joined the administration. He sold part of the business but retains an ownership stake.
