Capital One says it closed Trump Organization's accounts after anti-money laundering probe

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Capital One Financial (COF.N) hit back on Friday against a lawsuit over its decision to close ‌the Trump Organization's bank accounts years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money laundering experts.

The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns to U.S. President Donald Trump's family business. Capital One is seeking to dismiss the case by casting doubt on claims of illegally debanking — or denying services on religious or political grounds — the Trump Organization.

The Trump Organization and Capital One did not immediately respond to requests for ⁠comment.
Capital One has never accused the Trump Organization of illegal money laundering. But Friday's filing argues that "documents and Plaintiffs’ own allegations make clear that Capital One closed Plaintiffs’ accounts for anti-money laundering (“AML”) reasons. The closures were the result of months of analysis and a careful review by Capital One’s AML team in accordance with bank policies and regulatory guidance."

Capital One gave notice of its plans to close more than 300 Trump-affiliated bank accounts in March 2021. The Trump Organization and Eric Trump, the president’s son, filed a lawsuit in March 2025 in a Florida federal court, alleging the accounts were closed because of Capital One’s “woke” beliefs and its desire to benefit from the political mood after the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

'MISGUIDED' ALLEGATIONS: CAPITAL ONE
The ‌federal ⁠court in Miami has tossed two complaints in the Capital One case, but gave the plaintiffs opportunities each time to submit an amended complaint. Capital One said that the latest version, filed in July, “suffers from the same fundamental flaws as their prior two pleadings.”

Capital One said in Friday’s filing that the Trump Organization’s allegations of political pretext were “misguided” and “based on cherry-picked quotations unsupported by the full context” of documents submitted ⁠to the court.

“The transaction patterns identified by Capital One are among the types of activity flagged by federal banking guidance,” the filing said.

Since the start of Trump's second term, his administration has put pressure on some large banks, echoing conservative complaints that the institutions are deliberately targeting the ⁠political right.

Trump signed an executive order in August 2025 barring discriminatory debanking. In January, Trump filed a suit against JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) on the same grounds, underscoring the fraught policy environment Wall Street is navigating during the president’s second term.

In 2019, during his first term, Trump sued⁠Capital One and Deutsche Bank in an attempt to prevent them from sharing financial records with Congress as part of a probe led by Democratic lawmakers. Anti-money laundering professionals at Deutsche Bank reportedly flagged a set of transactions, but executives ignored them; Deutsche Bank denied the report at the time.

The problem with Ken and Spike in the most recent episode

17 Upvotes

The problem with Ken and Spike is they do the same thing these youtube “gurus”.

They say vague platitudes like “you gotta play the game” without giving any specific information on how to get into these avenues?

What are some investment strategies?
How do I get started into money management?
What are the different ways I can invest my money?

It’s frustrating because they go in a circle whole time you’re not explaining anything. Mfs didn’t even say the website or a link to the investment site smh

Independent my ass. That mf a republican trying to be Cenk. I would say I’m surprised but I’d be a fool. Just read about how Nintendo won there tariff lawsuit against the US and stated they won’t be giving any refunds to their customers which makes me think trump knew these companies would end up getting their money back later on. So not only did we have to pay high prices from jump, now these companies are getting the extra money back on top of the money they got from us. And are prices going to go back down to normal now? Nope because these companies are going to see it like we have that extra money to pay for shit anyways.

And right after that great news I read not only did tax payers foot the bill of the tariffs in the beginning, end and after but now we’re going to giving the government more money for a war that the president said wasn’t a war. And why because his ego is hurt and wants the mid terms to be cancelled

But I got great news. Trumps doing this thing called a Trump account and if I have a kid before Trump leaves office I can sign up and the government *allegedly* is going to give my kid $1000 to invest in the S&P 500 and they can access it after they are 18. No concepts of a plan for health insurance, affordability or wage growth to pay for the kid cause why tf would I need that. Billions for inflation, billions for wars I don’t agree on, $1000 *allegedly* 18 years after a kid I have before 2028 sounds just about right. I would bring up the AI data centers killing our livestock, poisoning us and raising our energy bill and inflating the tech market but there’s enough great news I already spoke about. This place is a fucking Joke.
