Source: KENT NISHIMURA / GettyCapital One Financial says it didn’t shut down the Trump Organization’s bank accounts because of politics.
According to the bank, it did so because its anti-money-laundering team identified activity that warranted concern.
In March 2021, Capital One informed the Trump Organization that it would close roughly 300 accounts connected to the business.
Four years later, the Trump Organization and Eric Trump sued, alleging the decision was politically motivated and that Capital One sought to distance itself from the Trump family following the Capitol riot.
Around that same period, reports claimed Deutsche Bank’s anti-money-laundering specialists raised concerns about transactions tied to Trump accounts, though the bank denied those reports.
