House Democrats subpoenaed nine large banks this week in connection with an investigation into President Trump’s financial ties, according to a report.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Monday said the subpoenas were related to potential “foreign influence in the U.S. political process,” including whether Russians laundered money through the Trump Organization.
