(Reuters) - Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N), the third-largest U.S. bank by assets, has fired four foreign-exchange bankers amid an investigation into that business by both the bank and regulators, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter and the bank.

The foreign-exchange investigation now shows there is also trouble in Wells Fargo's investment-banking arm, the WSJ reported. (http://on.wsj.com/2yCUaNF)
