Deutsche Bank has begun complying with New York prosecutors' requests for documents related to Trump Organization properties – even as the president digs in his heels against congressional subpoenas.

The German bank, which became a primary lender for Trump's company when other sources of credit were drying up, is in the process of handing over documents to New York Attorney General Letitia James, CNN reported.

State prosecutors sought documents after longtime Trump lawyer Michael Cohen testified that Trump inflated his net worth while seeking to purchase the Buffalo Bills NFL franchise in 2014.

Two House committees, the Intelligence panel and the House Financial Services Committee, also sent the bank inquiries for financial information on Trump.

The state authorities are seeking documents on Trump's luxury hotel in Washington, D.C., Trump National Doral in Miami, his Chicago hotel, and the Bills matter.

Cohen testified in February: 'Mr. Trump is a cheat.' He added: 'As previously stated, I'm giving the Committee today three years of Mr. Trump's personal financial statements, from 2011, 2012, and 2013, which he gave to Deutsche Bank to inquire about a loan to buy the Buffalo Bills and to Forbes [Magazine].'

He added: 'It was my experience that Mr. Trump inflated his total assets when it served his purposes, such as trying to be listed among the wealthiest people in Forbes, and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes.'

The movement toward document production came as Trump sent the message to his administration to resist congressional document requests.

'We're fighting all the subpoenas,' the president told reporters Wednesday.

He said litigation-happy Democrats should 'go after the DNC, crooked Hillary, the dirty cops' and Robert Mueller's investigators.

'That was a rigged system and I'm breaking down – I am breaking down the swamp. If you look at what's happening, they're getting caught, they're getting fired,' he said. 'If you look at drain the swamp, I am draining the swamp.'

The bank is assembling emails and loan documents, according to the report. It provided financing for Trump's Doral golf course, as well as his luxury hotels in New York and Chicago before he took the White House. Other lenders had backed away following previous Trump bankruptcies.
