Trump Vows JPMorgan Lawsuit Over Alleged 'Debanking' After Denying WSJ Dimon Fed Report

The president set a two-week timeline in a Truth Social post that banks have countered with firm denials.

Overview

  • Trump said he will sue JPMorgan Chase within the next two weeks over what he calls wrongful 'debanking' after Jan. 6, 2021.
  • He rejected a Wall Street Journal report that he offered JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon the Federal Reserve chair.
  • Trump also said the report implied a Treasury post for Dimon, which he denied, adding that Scott Bessent is already in that role in his administration.
  • JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America have denied refusing Trump's deposits, and the allegations have not been independently verified.
  • The threatened lawsuit aligns with Trump's broader pattern in his second term of frequently turning to litigation, including against media outlets.
