Bank accounts held by President Donald Trump were closed by Capital One in 2021 after it flagged financial activity that had characteristics of money laundering, as disclosed in a court filing over the weekend.
The court filing is tied to a lawsuit filed against Capital One by one of Trump’s financial holding companies shortly after he was sworn into office a second time. Trump alleges that Capital One illegally closed his accounts for political reasons, following the January 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol.
Capital One wants the lawsuit dismissed, stating that the closures were the result of months of analysis and a careful review by its anti-money laundering team in accordance with bank policies and regulatory guidance. Trump had more than 300 bank accounts with Capital One before they were closed, which were for a variety of Trump-branded businesses, and he had banked with Capital One for more than a decade.
特朗普的账户因涉嫌洗钱于2021年被Capital One关闭
特朗普总统的银行账户于2021年被Capital One关闭，原因是该银行发现了具有洗钱特征的财务活动，这一信息在最近的法庭文件中披露。
该法庭文件与特朗普的一家金融控股公司对Capital One提起的诉讼有关，诉讼是在他第二次宣誓就职后不久提出的。特朗普声称，Capital One因政治原因在1月6日国会大厦袭击后非法关闭了他的账户。
Capital One希望法庭驳回该诉讼，表示账户关闭是经过数月分析和反洗钱团队仔细审查后做出的决定，符合银行政策和监管指导。特朗普在Capital One拥有超过300个账户，这些账户涉及多种特朗普品牌的业务，他与Capital One的关系持续了十多年。
