President Donald Trump has filed a $5bn lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon, alleging that the bank debanked him and his businesses for political reasons in 2021. Trump claims JPMorgan abruptly closed multiple accounts, cutting off access to funds and forcing them to open new accounts elsewhere. While JPMorgan denies political motivation, Trump asserts that the bank acted based on prevailing political sentiment. This lawsuit comes amid a broader debate around banks’ political stances and practices, including debanking and reputational risk assessments.
