JPMorgan Chase informed Donald Trump in February 2021 that it was closing his bank accounts, following the January 6 Capitol attack. This decision is part of a $5 billion lawsuit Trump has filed against the bank. The bank did not specify reasons for the closures, stating it sometimes determines a client's interests are no longer served. Trump's legal team claims this is evidence of unlawful de-banking, while JPMorgan argues the lawsuit is meritless and seeks to move the case to New York.
