JPMorgan responds to Trump lawsuit, disputes inclusion of CEO Dimon
February 20, 2026
Summary
JPMorgan Chase filed a legal response to a $5 billion lawsuit from former President Donald Trump, arguing that the inclusion of CEO Jamie Dimon in the complaint is improper under Florida law. The lawsuit alleges the bank blacklisted Trump and his businesses.
Key Facts
- Trump filed a $5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase
- The bank argues Florida law does not permit naming CEO Jamie Dimon as alleged
- The lawsuit claims Trump was placed on a banking blacklist
Context
The bank's legal filing contends that Florida statutes do not support Trump's allegation that Dimon personally directed any blacklisting of Trump or his business interests. This represents a procedural challenge to how the lawsuit was constructed.
The case involves claims about banking services provided or denied to Trump-affiliated entities. JPMorgan is seeking to have certain aspects of the complaint dismissed or modified based on legal technicalities.
