Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported44m ago
Capital One Financial stated on Friday that it closed more than 300 bank accounts affiliated with the Trump Organization following an internal anti-money-laundering review. The bank disclosed the rationale in response to a lawsuit regarding its decision to shutter the accounts, which notice was given for in March 2021.
According to the disclosures, this marks the first time a financial institution has formally tied money-laundering concerns directly to Donald Trump. The revelations stem from a 2021 investigation by the bank into the Trump Organization's accounts.
