The United States attorney's office in the Eastern District of New York has contacted Deutsche Bank about getting a hold of records related to President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner.
The New York Times reported Friday that federal prosecutors are seeking financial records regarding Kushner's real estate company and the German bank that has loaned the company hundreds of million of dollars over the years.
The Times quoted a spokesperson for the Kushner Companies as saying the organization is "unaware of any inquiry directed at Deutsche Bank from the [U.S. Attorney's Office] and have no reason to believe there is one."
Further, the Times noted that there is no evidence that the records request has anything to do with the Department of Justice's Russia investigation.
The Wall Street Journal reported in August that the Kushner Companies are under investigation for their use of the EB-5 visa program, which offers visas to foreigners who create at least 10 American jobs through $500,000 investments.
Kushner stepped down from running his company earlier this year before he began working in the West Wing.
Other recent reports claimed that Mueller's team asked Deutsche Bank for records pertaining to Trump, although the president's lawyers said the reports were false.
