Donald Trump promised all throughout his 2016 campaign that he would be releasing his tax returns to Congress and the American public — a precedent that was followed by almost all of the presidents that came before him, generally when they were still in the running.
But, of course, Donald’s promise to release his tax returns has now fallen in the same category as his promises to make Mexico pay for a wall and to completely revamp healthcare to make it bigger and better than ever before: It’s just not going to happen.
Congress and several other individual states have been fighting tooth and nail to make Trump follow the rules. But, again, we all know how that goes. They sue. Trump sues back. Over and over again until the end of time.
It left the American people and Congressmembers alike only one option to hold on hope to — Deutsche Bank.
Deutsche Bank was the only entity that was willing to let Donald Trump borrow money from them when his finances were floating in the shitter.

So it would only make sense that they would the ones to have the financial/tax records that Donald has been trying so desperately to keep hidden.
Congress eventually had enough of Trump’s shadiness and opened a formal investigation into his taxes, specifically — which resulted in a direct subpoena to Deutsche Bank demanding that they produce all of Donald’s financial records from the time in question.
But now the bank is suddenly telling the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals that they don’t have them anymore.
If you’re thinking that sounds fishy — it is.
And one former executive for Deutsche Bank is saying so.
This former executive for Trump’s favorite bank claims to have personally reviewed Donald’s tax returns and has stated that it’s “not normal” for the institution to not hold on to records like that.
Finance editor for the New York Times, David Enrich posted a screenshot to his Twitter account of a conversation he had with an unnamed Deutsche Bank executive in which the formal bank official expressed his surprise at the bank’s claim to the courts that they no longer hold Trump’s tax information.
“Holy fuck,” the executive exclaimed, per the screenshots. “The circumstance could be that they returned any physical copies or destroyed any physical copies under an agreement with a client and cleansed their servers. Not normal though.”
I talked today to a former @DeutscheBank executive, who was among those who reviewed the @realDonaldTrump tax returns that were in the bank’s possession.
When I told him Deutsche says it doesn’t have the returns, this is how he reacted. (Posting this with source’s permission) pic.twitter.com/37XiskaFfi

Deutsche Bank has claimed in previous statements: “We remain committed to cooperating with authorized investigations.”
However, they have yet to respond to requests for comments in light of their newest claims.
Donald’s former fixer Michael Cohen has already revealed that Trump commits tax fraud by devaluing his assets in regard to his taxes and inflating them to insurance companies — evidence for all of which can be found in his tax returns according to Cohen.
Earlier this week, Trump lost a battle with a federal court when the judge ruled that Mazars USA, Trump’s accountant, is required to hand over all tax and finances related documents of Donald’s to investigators at the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.
Of course, Donald’s team of attorneys has been doubling down to block the subpoena issued by the Manhattan’s DA office that’s seeking eight years of records from Mazars.
However, Judge Victor Marrero isn’t having it — writing in his 75-page ruling that Trump’s attorneys’ case presented on behalf of Donald is “repugnant to the nation’s governmental structure and constitutional values” for daring to suggest that Trump, his family, his businesses, or his associates are “above the law.”
