The Trump administration has waived part of the punishment for five megabanks whose affiliates were convicted and fined for manipulating global interest rates. One of the Trump administration waivers was granted to Deutsche Bank — which is owed at least $130 million by President Donald Trump and his business empire, and has also been fined for its role in a Russian money laundering scheme.
The waivers were issued in a little-noticed announcement published in the Federal Register during the Christmas holiday week. They come less than two years after then-candidate Trump promised “I'm not going to let Wall Street get away with murder.”

Either under the definition of treason, or under a federal law involving providing material aid or services to a (hostile or not) foreign regime.
Having said that, America has been so long having different interpretations of laws for the 'politically connected/public figureheads' than they have for the 'common man' that I am unsure it matters anymore except in situations where the former cateogory is making an example to keep the attention of the latter category from their other longrunning misdeeds.
