In 2019, New York prosecutors subpoenaed Deutsche Bank, President Trump's longtime lender, seeking financial records that Trump and his company had given the bank, four people familiar with the matter told The New York Times.

The same prosecutors have been trying for the last year to get Trump's personal and corporate tax records. The criminal inquiry into Trump's business practices at first appeared to be focused only on hush money payments made in 2016 to two women who said they had affairs with Trump, the Times reports, but this move indicates that their investigation is wider in scope than previously known. In a court filing this week, prosecutors suggested they were investigating possible bank and insurance fraud.
