QatarCapital One has defended its decision to close over 300 Trump Organization bank accounts in 2021, citing internal anti-money laundering reviews rather than political motivations. The bank is fighting a lawsuit brought by the Trump Organization and Eric Trump, who allege the closures were politically motivated and aimed to capitalize on the post-January 6th, 2021, political climate. Capital One stated that its actions were based on regulatory guidelines and internal analysis, not political bias. The company has requested the case be dismissed, arguing that the plaintiffs' claims lack sufficient evidence and rely on selective interpretations of documents. The Trump Organization has not responded to requests for comment.
