Laundering Russian money is the one thing I think will stop Trump, and it's also why he CAN'T leave office. He knows it. And that's frightening. It's also why they need to start formal impeachment proceedings now.Major Wall Street banks have given congressional committees investigating President Trump thousands of pages of documents related to Russians who may have had dealings with Mr. Trump, his family or his business, people familiar with the congressional probes said. Some banks are also giving documents related to Mr. Trump’s business, the Trump Organization, to New York state investigators, people familiar with the New York investigation said.
Wall Street firms including Bank of America Corp. , Citigroup Inc., Deutsche Bank AG , JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo & Co. have recently provided the documents to congressional investigators, according to people familiar with those probes. The investigators are working on a joint probe into potential foreign influence on Mr. Trump and his family by the House Financial Services Committee and the House Intelligence Committee. More information will likely be handed over in coming weeks as the banks continue to respond to subpoenas sent in April, the people said.
Separately, Deutsche Bank, Mr. Trump’s primary bank, has turned over emails, loan agreements and other documents related to the Trump Organization to the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, in response to a civil subpoena sent earlier this year, according to people familiar with the New York investigation.

Mr. Trump is fighting in court to try to stop Deutsche Bank and Capital One Financial Corp. , two of the banks with the most information on his business, from handing over information to Congress.

The legal fights “could drag on for months, if not years—and that of course is the president’s strategy,” said Saikrishna Prakash, a law professor at the University of Virginia.
