House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters said she has advised her staff to seek whatever information it needs in investigating Deutsche Bank AG’s ties to President Donald Trump’s businesses.
“I do not know everything that we are requesting at this point, but whatever is necessary,” Waters, a California Democrat, told reporters Wednesday. She said the committee is interested in examining whether Trump has any connections to recent scandals Deutsche Bank has been ensnared in, such as so-called mirror trades in which regulators accused the bank of allowing Russian clients to move billions of dollars out of the country.
