U.S. authorities asked Deutsche Bank AG to hand over information about transactions that could be linked to former national security adviser Michael Flynn or entities connected to him, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The information was sought as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of alleged Russian interference in last year’s U.S. election, the newspaper said Friday, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. Flynn pleaded guilty this month to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A lawyer representing him didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment on the paper’s report, and a Deutsche Bank spokesman wouldn’t discuss specific legal requests.
