NewzCapital One has requested that a judge permanently dismiss a lawsuit filed by Trump-affiliated businesses regarding the closure of hundreds of accounts in 2021. The bank asserts that these closures were the result of a monthslong internal review conducted by its anti-money-laundering team, rather than being motivated by the January 6 Capitol riot.
The legal filing serves as a formal defense against claims that the bank's actions were politically motivated. By citing specific internal compliance protocols, the bank maintains that the account terminations were standard operational decisions based on financial risk assessments.
