Trump Organization Sues Capital One for Closing Its Accounts
Published On Mar 7, 2025, 2:57 PM
The Trump Organization has filed a lawsuit against Capital One, claiming the bank unjustifiably closed over 300 of its accounts in June 2021 after the January 6 Capitol attack. The lawsuit points to violations of consumer protection laws and alleges that the closures caused significant financial damage to the Trump Organization and its associated businesses. Eric Trump, leading the lawsuit, indicates this may not be the end of legal actions against other financial institutions that distanced themselves from the family business after the events of January 6.

There might be speculation over the impact on Capital One's stock performance if the case sets a precedent for backlash against financial institutions that cut ties with controversial clients.
