Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump Organization accounts

financeAug 3, 202611816,111

Capital One says it closed about 385 bank accounts tied to the Trump Organization in 2021 after a monthslong review by its anti-money-laundering unit, the bank told a court as it asked a judge to permanently dismiss a lawsuit from Trump-affiliated businesses. The bank framed the closures as the result of internal compliance and regulatory standards, not retaliation for the Jan. 6 riot. Capital One said federal banking-secrecy rules would have barred it from publicly disclosing internal AML findings even if it had wanted to. The disclosure is the first time a bank has formally linked money-laundering concerns to President Donald Trump’s family business, according to reporting. Capital One is asking the court to end the litigation rather than face further discovery into its compliance process.

The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.

Capital One just told a court they shut down hundreds of tRump Organization accounts because an anti-money laundering review found suspicious transaction patterns. Not “woke politics.” Actual banking red flags. finance.yahoo.com/markets/curr...

The bank is asking a judge to permanently dismiss a lawsuit from Trump-affiliated businesses, arguing a monthslong internal review — not the Jan. 6 riot — explains why hundreds of accounts were shut down in 2021.
