US President Donald Trump has issued a threat to sue JPMorgan Chase, one of America's largest banks, claiming it unfairly cut him off from its services after the January 6th US Capitol riot. The accusation is part of a series of baseless claims made by Trump regarding his treatment by major banks in the wake of the attack.
According to Trump, who has provided no evidence for these allegations, JPMorgan Chase "debanked" him following the events of January 6th, a claim strongly denied by both the bank and its CEO Jamie Dimon. In fact, Dimon has stated that there was never any job offer made to him by Trump, which would have been the basis for this supposed "debanking."
Trump's actions come as he continues to push an unsubstantiated narrative that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against him. This claim, like many others, is not supported by evidence and has been repeatedly debunked.
Despite his claims, Trump has offered little evidence to support his assertions. His baseless accusations against JPMorgan Chase have sparked outrage among experts and lawmakers alike, who see this as a continuation of the broader pattern of unsubstantiated claims made by the former president.
The bank's CEO, Jamie Dimon, has attempted to address these allegations, stating that the bank serves more than 80 million Americans without condition. "We agree that no one's account should ever be closed because of political or religious beliefs," he said in a statement.
In another twist, JPMorgan Chase spokesperson Trish Wexler stated that the bank supports efforts to prevent "political debanking" and will continue to serve all customers regardless of their views.
As tensions escalate between Trump's administration and key financial institutions, it remains to be seen whether the former president will follow through on his threat to sue JPMorgan Chase.

I mean, come on, Trump thinks he can just threaten a bank over some baseless claims? Like, what even is "debanking" again? 
It's not like the bank was trying to sabotage him or something. And honestly, who does this guy think he is, making these wild accusations without any evidence? It's just another example of how he can't accept losing an election and is trying to make a mess out of it.
That's what banks are supposed to do, it's not like they're making a big deal about politics. And Jamie Dimon's response was super classy, I love how he just calmly shut down Trump's claims.
This is just getting old.
anyone think this is just another baseless claim from trump? 
And it's not just JPMorgan Chase, all these other banks have been saying the same thing. It's like he's trying to stir up drama and attention or something.
It's just so frustrating because it makes all these good people look bad who actually did their due diligence and followed the rules. Anyway, I hope JPMorgan Chase sues him, that would be awesome! 
. I'm all for holding people accountable, but this is just getting ridiculous 
. It's astonishing that he thinks debanking him would somehow be evidence of wrongdoing 
. The fact that his own party has largely disavowed these claims is telling – it speaks to the desperation and lack of plausible deniability surrounding Trump's narrative 
. As experts and lawmakers continue to condemn these unsubstantiated claims, one can't help but wonder what other bombshell accusations are waiting in the wings 
.
. This is just more of his BS about the election being rigged – like anyone's buying it 
.
