Embattled Deutsche Bank stopped short of telling a federal appeals court Tuesday that it possesses copies of President Trump’s tax returns – but it did indicate that it has documents responsive to a key subpoena request from House Democrats.
Trump’s looking for the button to order his Diet Coke.
They are not sure they have them???
This guy sure thinks they do:
”TRUMP hired personal attorneys to sue Deutsche and Capital One in a bid to prevent them from complying with congressional subpoenas for his financial records.”
“Tantalizing…”?? Stop pissing around! What is this charades?? Pull their charter! Throw them out of the U.S. marketplace. Subpoena their entire board of directors. Hold their CEO and CFO personally liable. This isn’t a fucking word game! Chrissakes!
Of course they have the returns. The redacted letter is what was filed in the public record. I doubt that Deutsche Bank gave the judge a letter with redactions - their lawyers would be in contempt right now.
ETA: The end of the letter specifically indicates, “Deutsche Bank respectfully submits the full unredacted version of this letter under seal.”
But …
“Deutsche Bank told the court that “public confirmation” of whose returns it possessed would “‘reveal specific details of the manner in which’ customers” went about their personal banking activities.”
Yeah, keep that info from me. I’d be devastated to know that if I applied for a huge loan from your bank I’d have to give you my tax returns. Or that a former reality TV show host had to do so.
110% certain that DB has his tax returns. Now Whether Donnie changed them, or left off pages, or somehow lied on his application, that is an open question.
Just another reason why Trump’s arguments re his TAXES are merit less. If he gave them to a bank, he has lost any interest in preventing congress from having them. You can’t pick and chose who you disclose to…
Just read that Deutsche also hired the offspring of Chinese and Russian government officials to gain influence. You telling me that they wouldn’t toss money towards a self-promoting big mouth in return for the publicity?
Be careful what you wish for.
Naw. Since he only gave them fake tax returns massively inflating what he reported to the IRS, it’s not even the same thing.
Makes sense that he doesn’t want available copies to show up… Probably reported different amounts to the Banks, the IRS, and New York…
Didn’t figure for the Germans to be quite so coy.
I guess the pending litigations and potential removal of their US charter will convince them to cough it up, pronto.
Capital One said that it does not possess copies of the tax returns.
Did they and get rid of them? Or did they never look at them and still loan him money? At least one of those sounds like a crime.
Sweat, Mr. Presidunce. Sweat some more. The law is coming for you.
Would a lender typically get a copy of the actual tax returns? I’m not a muliti-failure businessman, of course, but I’ve never had to provide my tax returns to get a mortgage.
I’ve always had to provide my tax returns (at least summary page) to get a mortgage.
ETA: I owned my own business at the time, though.
Bank in May, this was reported…
My desk wasn’t that clean the day I retired.
I think if a bank is lending millions it would only be due diligence to get a copy of the returns. It is common practice now to get a copy of tax returns for a mortgage - you have to prove your income, especially when you are self-employed like Trump.
Any of those is possible. Remember during the mortgage meltdown we learned they couldn’t even track who owned rights to any particular property.
i’m guessing you actually worked at your desk.
These are loans of millions of dollars to a guy that has filed for bankruptcy multiple times. Any bank that didn’t kick the tires of his finances including his tax returns would be guilty of misfeasance in not malfeasance. That’s my point.
