A source with knowledge of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged Russian election meddling pushed back Tuesday on a new report claiming Mueller called on Deutsche Bank to submit data pertaining to its client relationship with President Trump.
But the source tells Fox News there has been no subpoena from Mueller’s office to Deutsche Bank about the president’s finances.

Spit my coffee out.
It’s now being reported that the original story was sourced from an unidentified FBI employee that works in HR. /s
Makes me wonder if Mueller was trying to out leakers. But that’s a hell of a story to make up to out a leaker.
Wonder who started the story?
My bet...McCabe or Strzok.
However there was another name I heard last night that will soon enter the level of these two who is also alleged to have been a rabid Anti Trump FBI higher up that is soon to be expose.
Who the hell is lying this time?
Leak trap.
Mueller is working with Trump! /wishful thinking
The Deutsche Bank would tell them to get stuffed ,where’s the crime
Bloomberg on Drudge credits this place with the original report.
Lots of “stuff” being thrown at the wall to get traction against Trump. None of it’s sticking. Mueller has his own skeletons striking up the band in the closet. Eventually they’ll be out.
Perhaps this fake news item was a trap to find a leaker? Hmmm.
Being a little lawyerly here, but is it possible there could be a difference between the President’s personal finances (not under subppena) and those of the Trump Organization (under subpoena)?
Reporter 1) Well my anonymous source could totally like beat up your anonymous source!
Reporter 2)Oh Yeah??? My anonymous source has a black belt in kung fu!
Reporter 1)Mine once beat up Bruce Lee!
Reporter 2)Mine has super ninja powers and shoots lasers out of his eyes!
Looks legit, because its not the default MS Word font.
well, look, the bank/swamp/enemies of freedom in Europe may VERY WELL have taken Trump’s records and GIVEN THEM to MuleHead without him even ASKING for a subpoena.
that could happen.
the establishments of most nations hate Trump. they hate America. they’ll do anything to destroy us and our freedom.
Perhaps someone’s TRYING to tank the markets.
Brian Ross, and now this?
It’s like someone or something is desparate.
also a little miffed that Rush simply read the report of Drudge and took it as gospel. He (as well as the rest of us) should know better.
First, if Seculow requested information about subpoena from the Deutsche Bank, the bank would not confirm it received the subpoena and/or production of records, as it likely would be subject to non-disclosure/gag order and therefore illegal. Seculow obviously knows that and relies on the bank's silence to not confirm or deny, thereby creating the impression of "fake news" for the faithful.
Second, the Deutsche Bank had already refused to provide information about investigation and related documents to Congressional Committee, citing the financial privacy rules (which do not extend or apply to Mueller investigation.) Third, his reference about "other sources" implies that he relied on the much maligned "leaks" himself and therefore doesn't serve him in good stead.
Fourth, Deutsche Bank may not be the [only] bank / financial institution that Mueller has subpoenaed to request Trump's financial information, as Trump had to rely on several "off-Wall Street" boutique shops to lend him money for projects, since most WS banks and investment firms would not lend him money, given his reputation and history of multiple bankruptcies, defaults, dilutions and tendency to file costly and time-consuming sueballs instead of paying his debts in full.
Fifth, while they are reluctant current partners on several projects with Trump (including controversial Old Post Office / Trump International Hotel in D.C.) there is no love lost between DB and Trump *:

Sekulow hasn’t really been that reliable. He mostly just play a a lawyer on TV.
