The following is via WaPo:
One month before Election Day, Jared Kushner’s real estate company finalized a $285 million loan as part of a refinancing package for its property near Times Square in Manhattan.
The loan came at a critical moment. Kushner was playing a key role in the presidential campaign of his father-in-law, Donald Trump. The lender, Deutsche Bank, was negotiating to settle a federal mortgage fraud case and charges from New York state regulators that it aided a possible Russian money-laundering scheme. The cases were settled in December and January.
Now, Kushner’s association with Deutsche Bank is among a number of financial matters that could come under focus as his business activities are reviewed by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is examining Kushner as part of a broader investigation into possible Russian influence in the election.
Kushner did not disclose the loan on his personal financial disclosures when he went to work for the White House.

hasn’t YWN learned by now that anything from WAPO is probably FANE (fake news)??
As its name may suggest, it is German, not Russian. Wikipedia states “In 2009, Deutsche Bank was the largest foreign exchange dealer” with 100,000 employees So it follows because Deutsche Bank did business with both Russia and Trump that there must be a Trump-Russian connection? Suddenly that old joke about investigating Trump for Russian connections based on his salad dressing (Russian) seems not so far fetched.
And whatever cases they had pending in the U.S. they settled before Trump took office? Sound like they were way more scared of Trump than Trump was of them.
