Transactions going back and forth in trump and kushners accounts. is that that unusual? not too much. who was the one that decided not to send the activity reports of what they thought was suspicious to the government? the reporting said it was people from the private banking side here in new york that knew kushner and his relationship with deutsche. that wasnt supposed to be done. i want you take on this and then michael because he worked in this area. they have been signed over $600 million ju...

I mean why during the campaign would kushner companies be paying russian individuals in a way that caused anti-money laundering specialists to write up suspicious activity reports? i have no idea. kushner companies denies any wrongdoing. the president himself is naturally denouncing the fake news, enemy of the people, but thats any day that ends in y. deutsche bank for their part, theyre denying they did anything wrong here either, despite their multiple employees and former employees saying the...

The bank where the money laundering might have occurred. "the new york times" reported yesterday that antimony laundering specialists at deutsche bank found multiple suspicious transactions involving accounts tied to donald trump and jared kushner during the presidential campaign and during the first year of the presidents in office. the "times" reports the transactions some of which involved mr. trumps now defunct foundation set off alerts in a computer system designed to detect illicit activit...

The private wealth division, which was lending trump the money, dismissed these concerns as overblown and these transactions really werent questionable, but just to go over what you were saying, every bank has these systems in place. any kind of transaction that seems at all questionable. there are both computers that look at them and there are human beings, there are investigative units throughout the bank. and in this case, an investigative unit flagged some of trumps transactions and said, we...

Kind of legal trouble if at all would the bank face? >> most of these requirements are created by the bank secrecy act. all kinds of fines. potential criminal liability. its something thats difficult to police but when caught is policed. >> talk about the incentives for these executives ignoring these recommendations. >> imagine that you have this gigantic customer who is funneling money through your company and generating a lot of income for your bank and you get the suspicious activity report....

That is. we havent seen those assurances, so ultimately thats what im looking for. >> but you do feel like its a step in the right direction. is it one step or do you actually feel a shift? when you were going through this, we talked about it last week. this didnt seem like something you could talk about with nike or other female athletes. and now, it feels like this is a moment of change. do you feel that? >> i absolutely do. honestly, i am so moved by the movement in general. i mean, it allows...

Times. but what this report says is that "the times" found people who used to work for that bank who said they saw suspicious activity reports that were flagged on some trump and kushner transactions and that the bank overruled the employees who wanted to file those reports and ultimately did not file them with the treasury. and as you know, having worked there, banks tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to any transaction that they think could possibly be suspicious. they file the f...

No knowledge of any flagged transactions with deutsche bank. while a statement from deutsche bank itself reads in part we have increased our anti-financial crimes staff and enhanced controls and takes compliance with antimony laundering and bank secrecy laws very seriously. at no time was an investigator prevented from escalating activity identified as potentially suspicious. joining us on set danny cevallos. thanks for joining us. talk to me about this. what type of transactions would be flag...

Said their managers told them not to file suspicious activity reports. joining me now, nbc news intelligence and national security reporter, ken dilanian. first, ken, i must note, i worked at deutsche bank from 2002 to 2012. and while i never worked with the trumps, i never worked with the kushners, deutsche bank has the reputation and it is justified that it runs fast and hard. compliance is not the top priority there. and employees know, its a firm that takes huge risks and those who take huge...
