The refusal to take his money, he said, was for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>A JPMorgan Chase spokeswoman responded to the lawsuit in a statement to Fox News Digital. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;While we regret President Trump has sued us, we believe the suit has no merit.

We regret having to do so but often rules and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >regulatory expectations lead<\/a> us to do so.&nbsp;We have been asking both this administration and prior administrations to change the rules and regulations that put us in this position, and we support the Administration&rsquo;s efforts to prevent the weaponization of the banking sector.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s unclear why Trump has decided to sue JPMorgan now over the alleged debanking, but he expressed plenty of fury over the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> report about its CEO, Dimon.
