"The gravamen of the claim is that the bank sent Trump a letter on February 19, 2021, six weeks after he sent a mob to lay siege to the seat of government, giving him and his associated businesses 60 days to find someone else to hold their money. This violates Florida's consumer protection statute ... don't ask how. And then JPMC put Trump's name on a "blacklist" of customers that it wouldn't do business with, which is trade libel, despite being true."
""Plaintiffs are confident that JPMC's unilateral decision came about as a result of political and social motivations, and JPMC's unsubstantiated, 'woke' beliefs that it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views," he claims. This is rather undercut by his own social media post in which he directly links the "debanking" to "the January 6th Protest," not his "conservative political views.""
Trump filed a lawsuit in Miami-Dade against JPMorgan Chase claiming the bank sent a February 19, 2021 letter giving him and affiliated businesses 60 days to move accounts following January 6 and later placed him on a customer "blacklist." The complaint asserts violations of Florida's consumer protection statute and alleges trade libel despite the bank's statements being true. The complaint attributes JPMC's actions to political and 'woke' motivations, while Trump's social media posts link the account closure to the January 6 protest. The filing seeks $5 billion and was lodged by lawyer Alejandro Brito.
