Trump’s Former Banker at Deutsche Bank Among Those Testifying in Fraud Trial

Three current and three former employees of Deutsche Bank AG, which arranged hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to Trump, appeared on a list of witnesses filed with the court by New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose lawsuit against Trump heads to trial in Manhattan on Oct. 2.
Deutsche Bank, which was one of Trump’s biggest lenders, has been central to the case filed last year by James, and testimony from its bankers may shed light on the real estate mogul’s long and complicated relationship with financial institutions. The Frankfurt-based lender decided to cut ties with Trump following the deadly riots at the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
One banker each from Morgan Stanley and Capital One are also slated to take the stand, according to the state’s witness list.
Witnesses include Trump’s family banker Rosemary Vrablic, a former Deutsche Bank managing director who arranged hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to Trump’s company. Also on the list is Deutsche Bank’s Arjun Nagarkatti, who was the lender’s US wealth management head before being tapped earlier this year to run private banking in central Europe and the US.
Former Morgan Stanley employee K. Don Cornwell also appears on New York’s list of witnesses, along with employees from Capital One and Ladder Capital, which employed a son of longtime Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg. Both appear on Trump’s witness list as well.
James also listed Weisselberg and the Trump company’s general counsel Alan Garten. Weisselberg pleaded guilty in a separate criminal case and was called as a prosecution witness at the criminal trial of the Trump Organization, which was later convicted of tax fraud charges.
Employees of the real estate brokerage Cushman & Wakefield, which also severed ties with Trump after the Capitol riot, are set to testify as well. The state has zeroed in on Cushman’s appraisals of three Trump properties: the Seven Springs Estate in Westchester County, Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles and 40 Wall Street in Manhattan.
