The New York Times, citing five current and former Deutsche Bank employees, said executives at the German-based bank, which has lent billions of dollars to the Trump and Kushner companies, rejected their employees' advice.

Officials at Deutsche Bank and the Trump Organization were not immediately available to Reuters for independent comment.
