FRANKFURT, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank will not do business in the future with U.S. President Donald Trump or his companies in the wake of his supporters’ deadly Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, the New York Times reported.
Deutsche Bank is Trump’s most important lender, with about $340 million in loans outstanding to the Trump Organization, the president’s umbrella group that is currently overseen by his two sons.
The NYT cited a person familiar with the bank’s thinking.
A spokesman for Deutsche Bank declined to comment on Tuesday. The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment outside normal business hours, and the White House press office did not answer the phone.
Christiana Riley, the head of the bank’s U.S. operations, last week condemned last week’s violence in a post on LinkedIn.
“We are proud of our Constitution and stand by those who seek to uphold it to ensure that the will of the people is upheld and a peaceful transition of power takes place,” she wrote.
Reuters reported in November that Deutsche was looking for ways to end its relationship with Trump after the U.S. elections, as it tires of the negative publicity stemming from the ties. #donaldtrump #presidenttrump #donaldtrumpdroppedbydeutschebank #deutschebank #deutschebankdropstrump #lender #loans #trumporganization #capitolriots #uscapitol #business #businessnews #riots #insurrection #sedition #proudboys #extremists #tedcruz #rudygiuliani #donaldtrumpjr #erictrump

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI is warning of plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitals & in Washington, D.C., in the days leading up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, stoking fears of more bloodshed after last week’s deadly siege at the U.S. Capitol.
An internal FBI bulletin warned, as of Sunday, that the nationwide protests may start later this week & extend through Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration, according to two law enforcement officials who read details of the memo to The Associated Press. Investigators believe some of the people are members of extremist groups, the officials said.
“Armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols from 16 January through at least 20 January, & at the U.S. Capitol from 17 January through 20 January,” the bulletin said, according to one official.
The FBI issued at least one other bulletin — they go out to law enforcement nationwide on the topic — before the riots last week. On Dec. 29, it warned of the potential for armed demonstrators targeting legislatures, the second official said.
Army Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, told reporters Monday that the Guard is also looking at any issues across the country,
“We’re keeping a look across the entire country to make sure that we’re monitoring, and that our Guards in every state are in close coordination with their local law enforcement agencies to provide any support requested,” he said.
The riots followed weeks of online calls for violence in the nation’s capital in the waning days of Donald Trump’s presidency.
A tweet in which Trump promised that last Wednesday’s event in Washington, D.C., “will be wild” fueled a “month-long frenzy of incitements, strategizing & embrace of violence against lawmakers,” according to a research group that tracks online extremism activity, In a report issued Saturday, the SITE Intelligence Group also warned that the Capitol attack has emboldened Trump-supporting extremists. #trumpsupporters #extremists #proudboys #armedanddangerous #protests #guns #firearms #statecapitols #washingtondc #fbi #riots #inauguration #joebiden #presidentbiden #donaldtrump #tedcruz #fbi #warning #insurrection #nationalguard #military #violence

Larry Rendell Brock -- the retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who's one of the Capitol insurrectionists last week -- can thank his ex-wife for his arrest.
As we reported -- Brock was the guy photographed holding zip ties inside the Senate chamber and was pretty easy to ID as he was decked out in body armor, a military helmet and a tag with a Punisher skull ... but his former spouse provided further intel to law enforcement.
According to a federal affidavit ... Brock's ex-wife of 18 years called the FBI National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) on Friday to turn him in.
The woman told the feds she recognized him from his military getup, adding ... "I just know that when I saw this was happening I was afraid he would be there. I think you already know he was there. It is such a good picture of him and I recognize his patch."
The affidavit says a second witness also reported Brock to the FBI the same day, telling the authorities ... "It looks like him and he has pilot wings on his chest in this picture. He was an A-10 pilot. Worked at L3, and he still has contacts that work with L3 that knew he was flying to Washington DC."
Brock was arrested shortly afterward and is facing one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
As for why he did what he did, he says it's because "The President asked for his supporters to be there to attend, and I felt like it was important."
He has denied any nefarious intentions with the zip ties though, claiming he found them inside the Capitol and planned to return them to police.
Of course, another man was seen with zip ties, and coupled with explosives being found near the area of the attempted coup ... it sure seems like the riots could have been much worse.
The FBI is still working on tracking down all involved and making arrests ... but they're off to a pretty good start.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – A school security officer is out of a job after being accused of using excessive force on a student in Pompano Beach.
The incident happened Thursday at the Youth Under Construction Youth Center on North Powerline Road.
The security guard can be seen taking a student’s cell phone before the situation escalates and he is pulled from his chair and into another room.
That is where the security guard, now identified as Alie Joseph, 25, appeared to try and handcuff the student before tackling him to the ground.
Delvin King, the school’s principal said Joseph works for a subcontracted security company.
“I didn’t know if it was a physical altercation or if it was some type of threat assessment and they had to detain the student, so I allowed security to attempt to detain the student until I could do a full investigation. That’s when I found out the situation pretty much wasn’t what I thought it was,” King told Local 10 News.
King is now working with the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Joseph is expected to face charges.

Dr. Dre is still in intensive care, one week after he was rushed to the hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm, and doctors are still trying to figure out what happened.
Sources connected to Dre with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Dre's where he's been since last Monday -- in ICU at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. Our sources say doctors continue to do a battery of tests to get to the root problem. Doctors also want him in ICU in case, God forbid, he suffers another aneurysm ... if that happens, time would be of the essence.
We don't know if Dre has gone into surgery, but that's usually the case to stop bleeding.
As for his current state ... the music legend is resting comfortably, and perhaps even more encouraging, our sources say docs have cautiously informed his family that a "bad outcome" doesn't appear to be on the horizon.
TMZ broke the story ... Dre suffered the aneurysm at his Pacific Palisades home Monday and was rushed by ambulance to Cedars.
If things stay that way, Dre is truly lucky -- brain aneurysms result in death around 50% of the time, and for those who survive ... about 2/3 suffer some sort of permanent neurological deficit. #drdre #dredreinicu #drdrehospitalized #drdrebrainaneurysm #brainaneurysm #icu #intensivecare #hospitalized #prayfordrdre #getwellsoon #musicproducer #legend #icon #nicoleyoung #nwa #rockandrollhalloffame #snoopdogg #warreng #eminem #50cent #dazdillinger #kurupt #thadoggpound #beatsbydre #jimmyiovine #mystery #illness #aftermathrecords #icecube #eazye #nwa #natedogg

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the House prepares for impeachment, President Donald Trump faces a single charge — “incitement of insurrection” — over the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to a draft of the articles obtained by The Associated Press.
Lawmakers are set to introduce the legislation Monday, with voting mid-week. Pelosi’s leadership team also will seek a quick vote on a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence & Cabinet officials to invoke the 25th Amendment.
The four-page impeachment bill draws from Trump’s own false statements about his election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden; his pressure on state officials in Georgia to “find” him more votes; and his White House rally ahead of the Capitol siege, in which he encouraged thousands of supporters to “fight like hell” before they stormed the building on Wednesday.
A violent & largely white mob of Trump supporters overpowered police, broke through security lines & windows & rampaged through the Capitol, forcing lawmakers to scatter as they were finalizing Biden’s victory over Trump in the Electoral College.
“President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government,” the legislation said.
The bill from Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Ted Lieu of California, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Jerrold Nadler of New York, said Trump threatened “the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power” and “betrayed” trust.
“He will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office,” they wrote.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the House will proceed with legislation to impeach Trump as she pushes the vice president & the Cabinet to invoke constitutional authority to force him out, warning that Trump is a threat to democracy after the deadly assault on the Capitol.
A Republican senator, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, joined Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska over the weekend in calling for Trump to “resign and go away as soon as possible.” #donaldtrump #presidenttrump #trumpimpeachment #mikepence #nancypelosi #joebiden #kamalaharris #presidenttrump #incitementofinsurrection #insurrection #sedition #imminentdanger #betrayal #riots #capitolriots #uscapitol #resign #impeachment #lies #proudboys #tedcruz

TOKYO (AP) — More than 80% of people in Japan who were surveyed in two polls in the last few days say the Tokyo Olympics should be canceled or postponed, or say they believe the Olympics will not take place.
The polls were conducted by the Japanese news agency Kyodo and TBS — the Tokyo Broadcasting System.
The results are bad news for Tokyo organizers and the International Olympic Committee as they continue to say the postponed Olympics will open on July 23.
Tokyo is battling a surge of COVID-19 cases that prompted the national government last week to call a state of emergency. In declaring the emergency, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said he was confident the Olympics would be held.
Japan has controlled the virus relatively well but the surge has heightened skepticism about the need for the Olympics and the danger of potentially bringing 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes into the country.
The Olympics could also attract tens of thousands of coaches, judges, officials, VIPs, sponsors, media and broadcasters. It is not clear if fans from abroad will be allowed, or if local fans will attend events.
Japan has attributed about 3,800 deaths to COVID-19 in a country of 126 million.
Japan is officially spending $15.4 billion to hold the Olympics, although several government audits show the number is about $25 billion. All but $6.7 billion is public money.
The Switzerland-based IOC earns 91% of its income from selling broadcast rights and sponsorships.
The American network NBC agreed in 2011 to a $4.38 billion contract with the IOC to broadcast four Olympics through the Tokyo. In 2014 it agreed to pay an added $7.75 billion for six more games — Winter and Summer — through 2032. #olympics #olympics2021 #tokyoolympics #tokyoolympics2021 #covid19 #coronavirus #olympicspostponed #summerolympics #swimming #trackandfield #gymnastics #wrestling #judo #taekwondo #volleyball #basketball #soccer #waterpolo #tabletennis #tokyo #japan #cancelled #cancelledolympics #sports

Police in Chicago and suburban Evanston say that at least four people are dead, including the gunman, and at least four others were critically injured during a shooting spree across both cities on Saturday.
Originally, police had reported that four victims had died in the shootings, but a woman who was shot in Evanston inside of an IHOP restaurant is still fighting for her life Sunday morning, according to an updated statement from authorities.
The man police believe was responsible for the shootings, identified as 32-year-old Jason Nightengale, was shot and killed during an exchange of gunfire with police outside of that Evanston restaurant, bringing to an end a string of murders that shocked the city.
The shooting spree began in the 5300 block of South East End Avenue at approximately 1:50 p.m. Saturday when Nightengale entered a parking garage and fired shots at a 30-year-old man, who was sitting inside a vehicle.
That man, who was later confirmed to be a student at the University of Chicago, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Chicago police.
Approximately 30 minutes later, Nightengale entered an apartment building in the 4900 block of South East End Avenue. He fired shots at a woman, who was serving as a security guard at the building. She was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Another woman, 77, was inside the building retrieving her mail when she was hit by gunfire. She is in critical condition at the University of Chicago Medical Center, police said.
The gunman then moved down East End Avenue to another building and pulled a gun on a male victim, whom he knew, according to police. The man pushed the individual into his apartment and demanded the keys to his vehicle, and fled the scene in a red Toyota sedan.
At approximately 3:45 p.m., the suspect drove to the 9300 block of South Halsted Street and entered a retail location, where he announced a robbery. Police say he then fired shots, striking a 20-year-old man in the head. That man was taken to Christ Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
An 81-year-old woman inside of the store was shot in the back and neck, and was taken to Christ Hospital, where she remains in critical condition.
At approximately 5 p.m. the gunman struck again, this time shooting a 15-year-old girl who was riding in a vehicle in the 10300 block of South Halsted Street. The girl was hit in the head, and was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where she is in critical condition.
Just five minutes later, Nightengale fired shots at a Chicago police vehicle that was investigating the previous shooting at the CVS location, striking the vehicle. No one was hit during that incident.
Nightengale then allegedly drove northward to a CVS pharmacy near the border of Chicago and Evanston, announcing a robbery Saturday evening. After firing at least one shot there, which did not strike anyone, he fled across the street to an IHOP restaurant.
Once inside, the gunman shot a woman in the head, according to Evanston police. She is in critical condition as of Sunday morning, according to authorities.
Nightengale then fired shots at Evanston police and they returned fire. He was hit multiple times by gunfire, and was transported to AMITA Health St. Francis Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police are still unclear of a motive in the case, and Chicago and Evanston police are continuing to investigate the shootings.

A veteran US Capitol Police officer has died by suicide, authorities and reports said Sunday, a further blow to a department already reeling from the death of a member during last week’s riot.
Officer Howard Liebengood, 51, died on Saturday while off-duty, the department announced in a statement.
“He was assigned to the Senate Division, and has been with the Department since April 2005,” the statement read. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.
“We ask that his family, and other USCP officers’ and their families’ privacy be respected during this profoundly difficult time.”
The department did not disclose the circumstances of Liebengood’s death, but outlets and reporters including Jake Sherman, of Punchbowl News, said that the lawman took his own life, citing sources.
It was not immediately clear what spurred the act.
Liebengood’s death came as the department was still mourning Officer Brian Sicknick, who was pepper-sprayed and fatally bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher when supporters of President Trump stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday in a futile attempt to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
It was not immediately clear if Liebengood, like Sicknick, was on-duty at the time of the deadly riot.
The department itself is under intense scrutiny for the ease with which the mob overwhelmed Capitol Police and forced their way into the seat of American democracy.
Chief Steven Sund has announced his resignation from the force, effective Jan. 16. #suicide #suicideawareness #howardliebengood #briansicknick #capitolpolice #uscapitol #riots #washingtondc #cops #police #proudboys #deadly #donaldtrump #presidenttrump #trumpsupporters #thugs #nancypelosi #mikepence #tedcruz #rudygiuliani #lies #insurrection #sedition

Reports that quarterback Deshaun Watson is unhappy with the Houston Texans and could ask for a trade reached a new level Sunday morning on ESPN's Postseason NFL Countdown, where insiders Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter revealed the possibility of a trade with the Miami Dolphins. According to Mortensen, as Watson's frustrations boil, a scenario where the Texans make a deal with the Dolphins for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa could unfold.
"Reports that Deshaun Watson is unhappy with the Texans are accurate," Mortsenen said. "After the team hired Nick Caserio as GM, it did not interview Chiefs (offensive coordinator) Eric Bieniemy as a head coach candidate, sources have confirmed. Watson has a new $156 million (contract), but ... the franchise's insensitivity on social injustice causes have been reinforced, and a source close to the quarterback says he very well could push for a trade.
"And get this — one scenario for a landing spot is the Miami Dolphins, trading places with Tua Tagovailoa to the Houston Texans. And you're not going to get anything but denials at this stage from both franchises, Adam, but this is an offseason puzzle we may be trying to put together."
Schefter, who added in a published report Sunday morning that the Texans would have likely hired Pittsburgh Steelers vice president of football and business administration Omar Khan as their general manager if they followed search firm Korn Ferry's recommendation, confirmed Mortensen's sentiments.
"Tua for Watson? We'll have some things to talk about here in the coming weeks," Schefter said. "And the other option at Watson's disposal in the opinion of people around the league would be this — withholding his services from the Houston Texans. That's how angry he's said to be. And again, it's only January. It's just getting started. Perhaps they can calm him down and talk to him. But that is also an option that the Texans would not want to see, where Deshaun Watson would wind up withholding his services, threatening to retire or at least not go to Houston. But this is an issue that's not going away."
Schefter included in his published report that ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Louis Riddick was a finalist with Khan before Texans owner Cal McNair reversed course, ignoring Korn Ferry's due diligence and instead hiring Caserio, formerly the New England Patriots' director of player personnel. A sudden decision by McNair rubbed Texans people wrong, Schefter said, most importantly including Watson.
Schefter added that Watson is "said to be furious" at the direction of Houston. McNair hopes to speak with Watson when the quarterback returns from vacation, but Schefter reported that league sources believe the result could be Watson holding out from playing if a deal is not made.
