Capital One says it closed Trump-affiliated accounts over money-laundering probe, not Jan. 6 riots
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported30m ago
Capital One has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by President Trump's trust regarding the closure of Trump Organization-affiliated accounts. In a Friday court filing, the bank stated that the accounts were shut down years ago solely after money-laundering concerns were flagged by experts, and not because of the January 6 riots.
Further arguing for the dismissal, Capital One's lawyers asserted that the plaintiffs have failed to present a plausible and legally binding claim. Consequently, the bank requested that the complaint be dismissed with prejudice.
