In a letter sent to a New York federal appeals court on Tuesday, Deutsche Bank confirmed that if it responds to a House subpoena related to President Trump, lawmakers will see people's tax returns, CNN reports.

The House has requested Deutsche Bank turn over financial records for Trump; his children Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump; other close relatives; the Trump Organization; a Trump trust; and additional Trump businesses. The tax returns might belong to individual Trump family members, but Deutsche Bank would not publicly reveal the names, saying there are "statutory, contractual, and privacy concerns." The bank did tell the court whose tax returns would be handed over to lawmakers, but the names are redacted from the public record.
