President Donald Trump said Saturday he plans to sue JPMorgan Chase, accusing the banking giant of improperly cutting off his accounts in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Trump made the allegation in a lengthy post on Truth Social, where he also denied a report that claimed he had offered JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon the job of Federal Reserve chair.
Trump also pushed back on suggestions he had considered Dimon for Treasury secretary, saying he already has Scott Bessent in the role.
"The problem is, I have Scott Bessent doing a fantastic job, A SUPERSTAR — Why would I give it to Jamie? No such offer was made there, or even thought of, either," Trump wrote.
Trump went on to defend those who protested on Jan. 6, writing, "a protest that turned out to be correct for those doing the protesting — The Election was RIGGED!"
Dimon rejected that claim in a statement, telling Fox Business in a statement, "There was no job offer. I have enormous respect for Secretary Bessent and think he's doing an excellent job for our country — better than I could have."
Violent protests broke out in Washington, D.C., as Congress certified the Electoral College votes for President Joe Biden. Some Trump supporters had called on Vice President Mike Pence to return the 2020 election results to state legislatures for further review. Trump critics accused him of inciting the violence, leading to his impeachment by the House. He was later acquitted by the Senate.
Trump was also banned from several social media platforms after the riot.
Trump has publicly said in interviews that JPMorgan Chase gave him a deadline, reportedly 20 days, to move hundreds of millions of dollars and effectively severed his accounts after Jan. 6.

In a statement to Fox Business, JPMorgan Chase spokesperson Trish Wexler said, "Serving more than 80 million Americans is our privilege, and we agree that no one’s account should ever be closed because of political or religious beliefs. We appreciate that this administration has moved to address political debanking, and we support those efforts."
Dimon last year denied that the bank debanks conservatives or customers based on political views.
BTW, Trump also said Bank of America later refused to accept large deposits when he attempted to bank elsewhere.
They debanked Republicans and also crypto people and legit businesses.
In other words, the banking industry did not foresee Donald Trump getting re-elected. I hope he sets a new record for his similar lawsuit winnings.
