JPMorgan says Trump's lawsuit improperly named Dimon as defendant

JPMorgan argues Trump named CEO Dimon fraudulently to keep the $5 billion lawsuit in Florida state court and seeks dismissal of claims under federal banking regulations.

  • On Thursday, JPMorgan Chase filed to move President Donald Trump’s debanking suit from Florida state court to federal court in Miami, arguing CEO Jamie Dimon was fraudulently joined.
  • In January, Trump filed suit in Florida state court, alleging JPMorgan put him and his businesses on a `blacklist` and `debanked` them, seeking $5 billion, while accusing CEO Dimon of directing the actions.
  • JPMorgan's lawyers cited DUTPA exemptions, arguing claims against JPMorgan CEO Dimon don't fall under Florida law, and the plaintiffs failed to explain the alleged "blacklist" or its provenance.
  • The filing seeks dismissal and federal venue for the case, as JPMorgan Chase argues none of the plaintiffs are Ohio citizens and CNN has contacted the bank and White House for comment.
  • Though not known as an outspoken Trump opponent, Dimon recently criticized Trump's proposal to cap credit card interest at 10 percent, calling it an "economic disaster," while the Financial Times reported JPMorgan has been in talks to bank Trump's 'Board of Peace' initiative; it is unclear how that might impact the lawsuit.
