NEW YORK (AP) — The FBI has reached out to a lawyer for a former Deutsche Bank employee who complained that the bank was ignoring suspicious transactions, including some involving Jared Kushner's family real estate company.

The former Deutsche Bank anti-money laundering specialist, Tammy McFadden, told The New York Times in May that she had recommended that the bank alert the Treasury Department to a series of money transfers from the Kushner Cos. to Russian individuals in 2016, but the bank decided against it.

McFadden's lawyer, Brian McCafferty, told the Times in a story published Wednesday that he was recently contacted by the FBI about his client.

Deutsche Bank declined to comment on the Times story, other than to say it will cooperate with any "authorized investigations."

2. +1

He's turned our entire federal law enforcement system into his personal team of lawyers, private eyes, etc.

Nixon, Reagan and the two Bushes tried to do the same as I remember. But nothing quite like this.

3. He wants that.

Do you know of evidence that he has actually accomplished that?

Not mean as snark.
