(CNN) Deutsche Bank does not have President Donald Trump's tax returns, according to a federal appeals court that's reviewed details of what financial information the bank could turn over to the House of Representatives regarding Trump.

The news comes as a setback for House Democrats pushing to obtain Trump's tax returns, and adds to the mystery of whose tax returns the bank has that it says could still be revealed as part of the investigation into Trump.

Earlier this year, the House had subpoenaed the bank for financial documents for Trump and three of his children -- Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump -- as well as two redacted names or entities and for their immediate family members. Court filings show that the House also subpoenaed financial documents related to Trump-owned entities, but those subpoenas don't include tax returns. The tax returns the bank possesses have been redacted in court filings in order not to reveal the names of the individuals involved.

After Trump protested and paused the subpoena, a federal court forced the bank to say exactly whose tax returns it had under the subpoena. The bank had tax returns for two Trump-related people, it told the court.

The revelation Thursday came after media organizations asked the court to reveal the names of whose tax returns Deutsche Bank has.
