Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort promised to get a Chicago banker a job in the White House in exchange for $16 million in loans, NBC News reported Wednesday.

The story notes that Manafort obtained three separate loans from Federal Savings Bank of Chicago between December 2016 and January 2017 for his homes in New York City, Virginia and the Hamptons section of Long Island.

Later Wednesday, the Federal Savings Bank said in a statement that the allegations "are simply note true." The bank said it has been fully cooperating with the special counsel investigation and will continue to do so.

The president of Federal Savings Bank is Stephen Calk, who in August 2016 was announced as a member of then-candidate Donald Trump's council of economic advisors.
