President Donald Trump's personal lawyer denied Tuesday that the US leader's financial records had been subpoenaed from Deutsche Bank by the special prosecutor examining Russian election meddling.

"No subpoena has been issued or received. We have confirmed this with the bank and other sources," Trump attorney Jay Sekulow said in a statement.

Bloomberg News and German business daily Handelsblatt reported earlier Tuesday that special prosecutor Robert Mueller had subpoenaed the giant German lender to hand over financial information about Trump and members of his family.
