President Donald Trump on Saturday announced he plans to sue JPMorgan Chase for allegedly “debanking” him after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.  

“I’ll be suing JPMorgan Chase over the next two weeks for incorrectly and inappropriately DEBANKING me after the January 6th Protest, a protest that turned out to be correct for those doing the protesting,” Trump wrote in a social media post. “The Election was RIGGED!”

JPMorgan did not immediately respond to Trump's post.

The company's CEO, Jamie Dimon, has publicly acknowledged that the organization has debanked certain individuals.

"We do not debank people because of religious or political affiliations," Dimon said. "We do debank them. They have religious and political affiliations. We debank people who are Democrats, we debank people who are Republicans, we debank different religious folks. Never was that for that reason."
