NY AG Letitia James to make 'major' announcement after Deutsche Bank turns over Trump finances

New York State Attorney General Letitia James will make a “major national announcement” today.

The NY AG released a statement saying she’ll speak from her office at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, but offered no other details.

Some reports suggest James’ announcement will be related to New York state investigations into President Donald Trump’s businesses. The New York Times reported Wednesday that Deutsche Bank has turned over Trump’s financial records after the Manhattan District Attorney’s office issued a subpoena last year.

The Daily Beast reports the documents may show evidence of fraud, widening the probe into hush money payments made to women who said they had affairs with Trump. The president’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen testified last year that Trump inflated his net worth by about $4 billion in a loan application to Deutsche Bank for a 2014 bid on the Buffalo Bills.

I'm not sure this presser is about that, but I'm with you about the "Putin underwriting Trump" theory of DB. (i.e., Putin guaranteeing Trump's debt, or something of that nature)

Putin via Deutsche Bank has been supporting Trump for years because no other bank
(outside of another Putin vehicle ... the Bank of Cypress .... from where we got Sec. of
Commerce Wilbur Ross) would lend Donny a nickel because of his multiple bankruptcies
and it was also a way to get total control of Donald Trump. Hell, Russia/Putin were the
backing "The Apprentice" on order to sell to the American people that Trump was some
kind of business genius where in reality he was and still is a multi billion dollar failure.

... in America's history. I think only Vlad Putin and Bill Barr are one of the few who really
understand all the moving parts in this "thing."

The good thing is that these possible charges are coming through the state of N.Y. and Barr
can't do shit about them.

He is a tax cheat, a deadbeat who has not paid debts, and a man who started life with 55 million and managed to go bankrupt.

Thanks Trump Voters.
