Deutsche Bank denies US lawmakers' request for Trump information

Washington

DEUTSCHE Bank said it can't comply with a request to hand over information related to its relationship with Donald Trump and trades from the bank's Moscow operation as political opponents seek to probe the US President's links with Russia.

The lender is required by law to maintain confidentiality of non-public customer information, Deutsche Bank lawyers said in a letter responding to a request from five Democratic Party lawmakers to hand over its findings on loans made to Mr Trump and trades made from Moscow. Known as the "mirror trading" scandal, the trades helped move about US$10 billion out of the country.
