Capital One bank cites money-laundering probe to justify closing Trump Organization accounts

Capital One Financial stated that it closed over 300 Trump Organization bank accounts in 2021 due to concerns about potential money laundering, defending its actions against a lawsuit alleging illegal debanking based on political or religious grounds. This is the first time a major bank has publicly linked its decision to money-laundering concerns involving the Trump Organization. Capital One emphasized that its actions followed internal reviews and compliance with anti-money laundering regulations. The Trump Organization and its representatives have denied these claims, suggesting the closures were politically motivated. The legal battle continues as the court has dismissed previous complaints but allowed revised filings.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both sides of the dispute without overtly favoring either.
