Trump Organization Sues Capital One Over 2021 Account Closures
The lawsuit alleges political bias in the closures, while Capital One denies claims of wrongdoing.
- The Trump Organization filed a lawsuit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court against Capital One for closing over 300 accounts in 2021, citing political and social motivations.
- Eric Trump and other plaintiffs claim the closures caused millions in financial losses and disrupted operations across Trump-owned properties and businesses.
- The lawsuit alleges the closures were part of a broader trend of 'debanking' entities with conservative political views, which the Trump Organization argues sets a dangerous precedent.
- Capital One denies the allegations, stating it does not close accounts for political reasons and did not provide further comment on the lawsuit.
- The Trump Organization is seeking monetary damages and a declaratory judgment, with Eric Trump suggesting similar legal action could follow against other financial institutions.
