USA, Trump sues JPMorgan: ‘Banking services denied for political reasons’

Washington (USA), 22 January (LaPresse) – Donald Trump has filed a £5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase and its chief executive Jamie Dimon, accusing the financial institution of denying him banking services for political reasons. According to Fox News, the president’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, filed the lawsuit this morning in Florida state court in Miami on behalf of the president and several of his hotel companies. Brito cites JPMorgan’s code of conduct, which states that the bank operates ‘with the highest level of integrity and ethical conduct.’ A spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase told Fox News Digital: ‘While we regret that President Trump has sued us, we believe the lawsuit is without merit. We respect the President’s right to sue us and our right to defend ourselves: that is what the courts are for.’
