Jan. 22 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump sued JPMorgan Chase bank and its CEO Jamie Dimon Thursday for closing his accounts in 2021 after the Jan. 6 capitol riots.
Trump alleges the closure of the accounts was done for political reasons after decades of being a customer.
JPMorgan denied Thursday that the closures were political and suggested they were because of federal rules and regulations.
Trump and other plaintiffs in the case -- business entities related to him -- are seeking $5 billion in damages. The suit was filed in state court in Miami, Fla.
