The vast majority, if not all of this money was owed to DBTCA specifically: $364 million in loans to Donald Trump companies for properties in Chicago, Florida, and Washington, DC. $285 million loan to Kushner Companies. $5-25 million line of credit to Jared Kushner $5-25 million line of credit to Ivanka Trump. Trump and Kushner alone appear to comprise about 1.6%-1.7% of DBTCA’s entire portfolio, which has total assets of $40 billion. Kushner’s mother also has a line of credit with Deutsche Bank, worth up to $25 million. Two of the loans to Trump entities for the Doral resort in Florida mature in 2023, before a potential second-term would end. Trump still owes at least $55 million of those loans, with their due date approaching in 3 years. Those loans have come under previous media scrutiny, in large part due to their alleged management by Rosemary Vrablic, a private banker at DBTCA, and not Deutsche Bank’s commercial real estate division. Vrablic’s former boss at DBTCA, Tom Bowers, recently committed suicide in California. Deutsche Bank pushed back on connections between scrutinized DBTCA loans and separate cash management services like it provided for Gazprombank. Both areas of banking, however, occured under DBTCA. Testimony of bank officials like Vrablic might be essential to understanding how DBTCA justified lending to Trump, who had previously defaulted on multiple loans and declared corporate bankruptcy several times. The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling in June on whether Trump can block Congress from receiving his Deutsche Bank records. Congress issued wide-ranging subpoenas for financial records relating to Trump entities and family members, as well as broader Deutsche Bank records regarding money laundering compliance. Those records may reveal where payments toward Trump’s loan balance originated, or whether any senior Deutsche Bank officials knew the loans were underwritten by Russian banks like VTB or Gazprombank. The FBI continues to investigate Deutsche Bank in a criminal money laundering probe. 3 Link to comment

But when you get past headlines like "Bombed Syria" you find that most of Trump's actions were cosmetic, temporary and self-serving, and more than offset by Putin advancing his larger ambitions -- pitting the US against NATO, the loss of American global prestige, and a divided America that no longer trusts its Democratic processes. Donald Trump was an absolute gift for Vladimir Putin. Was Obama tougher? Will Biden play it differently? Probably not much. That's just the way the game is played. But the minute Donald Trump stood next to Vladimir Putin and told the world he trusted the KGB guy over the unanimous conclusion of all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, he got the analysis he deserved: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/10/13/no-trump-has-not-been-tough-russia/ 2 Link to comment
