MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell issued an on-air clarification Tuesday after making shocking claims about President Donald Trump's ties to Russian oligarchs that had not been vetted by NBC News.
In response to a Democrat-controlled House committee subpoena, Deutsche Bank revealed Tuesday that it was in possession of tax returns "related to" Trump or his immediate family. While the partially redacted filings did not specify whose tax returns the bank possessed, O'Donnell opened The Last Word by claiming they were President Trump's, based on "what one source close to Deutsche Bank has revealed to me."
O'Donnell claimed later in the segment that his source's information "goes a few very important steps beyond" publicly available information, and that "the Trump tax returns reveal that the president pays little to no income taxes in some years."
"The source says that Deutsche Bank is in possession of loan documents that show Donald Trump has obtained loans with co-signers, and that he would not have been able to obtain those loans without co-signers," O'Donnell said. "The source close to Deutsche Bank says that the co-signers of Donald Trump's Deutsche Bank loans are Russian billionaires close to Vladimir Putin."
"If true, that would explain every kind word Donald Trump has ever said about Russia and Vladimir Putin, if true," he continued. "If true, that would be a significant factor in Vladimir Putin's publicly stated preference for presidential candidate Donald Trump over presidential candidate Hillary Clinton."

O’Donnell is insufferable.
O’Donnell and most of the rest of the media are nothing more than propagandists for the Democrat Party.
What’s the “bombshell”? That he co-signed with Russian oligarchs? Yeah, so?
Sounds like the old soft shoe shuffle. Like it’s maybe we are going to get or arses sued off crap from Larry and the boys.
Fake news doesn’t know what to do when caught
by not firing him AGAIN the network merely proves it is directing these false stories on trump.
Fire him. Trump org taking legal action.
How would a German bank collect from a Russian oligarch ?
Yup.
NBC News is in the “conspiracy theory” business. If anybody’s working with Russians to undermine the US, its NBC News.
Bingo! Fake news caught again in lies.
A source “close to” Deutsche Bank.
Hmmm... once walked by a Deutsche bank?
Was down the block from a Deutsche bank on his cell phone?
Partisan Organs.
Trump OR his immediate family or Margaret Thatcher or Richard Nixon or Ronald Reagan or Abe Lincoln or.or,or.
They were friends with Putin!!
Imagine that. The wealthiest people in a country being friends with the leader of that county.
It’s an outrage!!

O’Donnell, guess what? It’s Hammer-time!
Could it be Donny Deutsch?
Just heard from Trump Jr. that DJT is filing Law Suit against MSNBC and O’donne.
Good.
I was hoping he gave the military orders to carpet bomb them but a law suit is good.
