Confession in memoirs: Schäuble opens up about Kohl's “slush fund” in the CDU/CSU faction. In his memoirs he reports on Kohl’s ‘war chest’ in the Union parliamentary group.

Kohl is said to have used the money to keep the party in line. But where exactly the money for the “warchest” came from is something Schaeuble can only speculate about. He does not give any names about suspected donors.
