Trump Filed a Lawsuit Against JPMorgan Chase And Its CEO Over Debanking

2 min read
  • Trump and companies affiliated with him demanded $5 billion from JPMorgan Chase.
  • The bank is accused of unjustified account closures and refusing to provide services.
  • Allegedly, the institution isolated Trump, his family, and associated individuals after the attempted storming of the Capitol by MAGA supporters.

U.S. President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon personally, accusing the institution of deliberate debanking. The politician asked the court to deem the firm’s actions unlawful and to award $5 billion in damages.

The lawsuit alleges the intentional denial of access to banking services for Trump and individuals affiliated with him. According to the plaintiffs, in February 2021, after the attempted takeover of the Capitol by the politician’s supporters, JPMorgan Chase closed several accounts without any apparent reason.

Trump believes this happened for political reasons and as a result of pressure on both his family and related organizations. In addition, Dimon’s public statements allegedly caused the president significant reputational damage.

Commenting on the lawsuit in Davos, Trump said he should not have done it. CNBC quoted him as saying:

JPMorgan Chase allegedly did not explain the account closures in any way. In a public statement, the bank denied that it happened for political reasons, citing federal rules and regulations in force at the time.

The organization also said it supports the current administration’s efforts to end the practice of weaponizing the banking sector.

The plaintiffs are asking the court to deem JPMorgan Chase’s actions unlawful and to award $5 billion in damages.

As a reminder, in August 2025, Trump signed an executive order banning the debanking of a number of organizations, including crypto companies. The latter faced deliberate isolation under the Biden administration, a practice known as Operation Choke Point 2.0.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
