Donald Trumps deklarationer från 2015-2020 är nu offentliga

At a time when most Wall Street firms had stopped doing business with Donald J. Trump, a single bank lent him more than $2 billion. We look at the two-decade relationship that could unlock the president’s financial secrets.

Most people haven't heard of Professional Bank. The business is a tiny outpost in Coral Gables that doesn't have a fraction of the name recognition of major Wall Street financial institutions.

But last year, Professional Bank managed to snag quite the client: President Donald Trump.

According to records first uncovered by Mother Jones on Wednesday, Professional Bank loaned one of Trump's shell companies, 1125 South Ocean LLC, "between $5 million and $25 million" at 4.5 percent interest.

Trump used the money to buy a Palm Beach mansion owned by his sister, former federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry, that was located next door to his Mar-a-Lago resort.

The loans are bizarre for a few big reasons. One, the New York Times this week detailed how most banks have refused to lend to the Trump Organization due to its long history of shady dealings and business failures.

(Ultimately, Trump in the 1990s started relying on the German Deutsche Bank, which at the time was pretty desperate to grow its reputation on Wall Street.)

The Trump Organization previously claimed that Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were behind the purchase of the mansion, but the president's financial disclosures show that Trump Sr. still controls the property.

Could President Trump's tax records end up dropping right at the height of the 2020 presidential election? That's looking increasingly possible.

This new timeline, the Post writes, "could set up a decision from the Supreme Court that could land in the thick of the 2020 presidential campaign." After all, the report notes that experts expect the president's lawyers to immediately appeal to the Supreme Court should they lose in the D.C. Circuit.

Wells Fargo turned over a few thousand documents to the committee, as NBC News first reported, while TD Bank provided a handful.

But that’t not all.

Those banks are just two of the nine financial institutions — yes, nine — from which congressional Democrats want cooperation.

And that demand has led to a growing legal battle on many fronts.

....Now the new big story is that Trump made a lot of money and buys everything for cash, he doesn’t need banks. But where did he get all of that cash? Could it be Russia? No, I built a great business and don’t need banks, but if I did they would be there...and DeutscheBank......

.....was very good and highly professional to deal with - and if for any reason I didn’t like them, I would have gone elsewhere....there was always plenty of money around and banks to choose from. They would be very happy to take my money. Fake News!
