A new filing in Trump’s Capital One case highlights the legal hurdle facing a separate $5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase: proving political discrimination when bank agreements grant broad authority to close accounts……….
Capital One asked a federal judge in Miami to dismiss with prejudice a lawsuit brought by Trump’s trust and affiliated businesses, which accuse the bank of closing more than 300 accounts because of political bias following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

A new investigation reveals how Jeffrey Epstein worked with JPMorgan Chase while carrying out his sex-trafficking operation.
JPMorgan Chase, one of the world’s top banks, worked with Epstein from the late 1990s until 2013, even as employees raised concerns about him, according to a new report by The New York Times. Epstein died by suicide in a New York City jail cell in 2019 while facing federal sex trafficking charges.
JPMorgan Chase processed more than 4,700 transactions for Epstein, which totaled more than $1.1 billion and included payments to his victims, the Times reports. It wasn’t until 2019 thatJPMorgan opened an internal investigation – called Project Jeep – and filed a report with federal regulators, retroactively flagging these transactions as suspicious, according to the outlet.
Epstein was also regularly withdrawing tens of thousands of dollars in cash nearly every month, which should have set off internal alarms, the Times reports. The bank also set up accounts for women who turned out to be Epstein’s victims, according to the Times.
JPMorgan spokesperson Joseph Evangelisti told the Times the bank’s relationship with Epstein “was a mistake and in hindsight we regret it, but we did not help him commit his heinous crimes.”
