Mr. Trump, in an interview on CNBC, said that both JPMorgan Chase — the nation’s largest bank — and Bank of America refused to accept more than $1 billion in deposits from the Trump Organization after his first term. He said that he made personal appeals to the chief executives of both banks but was rejected.
“The banks discriminated against me very badly,” Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Trump’s remarks couldn’t immediately be confirmed. A JPMorgan spokesman did not address Mr. Trump’s charge, instead sending a statement saying that the bank would not comment on clients. Bank of America declined to comment. The Trump Organization
earlier sued Capital One for closing its accounts in the wake of the Jan 6. attack on the Capitol.
