The suit follows Trump&#8217;s public claims that JPMorgan and other <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >large banks refused<\/a> more than $1 billion in his deposits for political reasons; he also denied a wall Street Journal report that he offered dimon the Federal Reserve chairmanship, calling that story false on Truth Social. JPMorgan said the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-attorney-new-york-attorney-general-has-no-case\/\" title=\"...s lawyer says NY Attorney General lacks evidence.\">lawsuit lacks merit<\/a>, asserting it does not close accounts for political or religious reasons but may close accounts that pose legal or regulatory risk, and urged changes to rules that put banks in difficult positions. The filing comes amid broader tensions involving Trump and financial regulators, including his feud with Fed Chair Jerome Powell and recent news of a DOJ inquiry into Powell.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump sues JPMorgan Chase over post-Jan. 6 &lsquo;debanking&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2472020\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> on Thursday sued JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon for &ldquo;debanking&rdquo; him in the aftermath of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/january-6\">Jan. 6<\/a> Capitol riots.<\/p>\n<p>The president is seeking $5 billion in damages from the company, according to the lawsuit filed in the Florida state court in Miami.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/4429503\/nypd-commissioner-demands-hospital-retrain-staff-withheld-treatment-police\/\">NYPD commissioner demands hospital retrain staff who withheld treatment from police officers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4429619\/zelensky-urges-europe-double-army-2030-combat-russia-troops\/\">Zelensky urges Europe to double army by 2030 to combat Russia&#8217;s possible 2.5 million troops<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4428995\/who-attended-trump-board-of-peace-signing-world-leaders\/\">Leaders friendly with Trump surrounded him at the &#8216;Board of Peace&#8217; signing.

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 respect the President&rsquo;s right to sue us and our right to defend ourselves &ndash; that&rsquo;s what courts are for,&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;JPMC does not close accounts for political or religious reasons,&rdquo; she added, &ldquo;We do close accounts because they create legal or regulatory risk for the company.

I would have very quickly told them, &lsquo;NO,&rsquo; and that would have been the end of the story,&rdquo; Trump responded to the rumor.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also suggested the report said he offered Dimon the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-sues-jpmorgan-chase-over-post-jan-6-debanking-2\/\" title=\"... over post-.... 6 &#039;...&#039;\">treasury secretary job<\/a>, which he denied.

The Wall Street Journal ought to do better &lsquo;fact checking,&rsquo; or its already strained credibility will continue to DIVE,&rdquo; Trump added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s feud with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell came to a head last weekend with the announcement of a Department of Justice criminal investigation into the official.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/4417515\/wall-street-powell-doj-investigation\/\">WALL STREET EXECUTIVES BACK POWELL AS DOJ INVESTIGATES FED CHAIRMAN: &lsquo;NOT A GOOD IDEA&rsquo;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Republicans and Democrats alike have opposed any allegations of wrongdoing by Powell since the inquiry dropped.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I know Chairman Powell very well.
