Officials at Deutsche Bank have flagged a slew of "suspicious transactions" linked to Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and White House senior advisor, a German business magazine has reported.

"There are indications that Donald Trump’s son-in-law or persons or companies close to him could have channeled suspicious monies through Deutsche Bank as part of their business dealings," Mother Jones reported, referring to Manager Magazine.  

Deutsche Bank’s board's chairman, Paul Achleitner, asked the bank to conduct a preliminary investigation and "the results were troubling," Mother Jones reported. 

The representatives from the German bank told Manager Magazine, upon finding the discrepancies, that the company accounts related to the Kushner family have now been sent to the German bank regulator, Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, BaFin, for further investigation. 

The German magazine did not relay the details of the "suspicious monies," but said the bank was worried about its reputation.  

"What BaFin will do about [the bank’s findings] is not the bank’s greatest concern," the German magazine reported. 

"Rather, it’s the noise that U.S. special counsel Robert Mueller … will make in his pursuit of Trump. For he will likely obtain this information—a giant risk to (the bank’s) reputation." 

Earlier in December, U.S. federal agencies had subpoenaed the bank for records involving Kushner companies, according to The New York Times. 

The same month, Newsweek revealed that Trump's son-in-law failed to mention to the Office of Government Ethics, during his March filings, that he was the co-director of the Charles and Seryl Kushner Foundation from 2006 and 2015, which was responsible for funding settlements that were deemed as illegal according to the international law. 

“The first son-in-law has repeatedly amended his financial records since his initial filing in March, along with three separate revisions to his security clearance application. Despite correcting his financial history on multiple occasions, he has yet to include his role as co-director to the family foundation,” Newsweek reported.
