Trump Fires Back at JPMorgan Chase with $5B Debanking Lawsuit

Former President Donald Trump filed a Florida civil suit against JPMorgan Chase, alleging the bank debanked him for political reasons after a 2021 notice to move funds and a later 'blacklist' of his accounts, seeking $5 billion. The filing argues the actions were politically motivated and cites federal investigations, while critics note Florida’s consumer-protection statute lacks a private right of action, framing the move as a high-profile, controversial legal gambit.
