President Donald Trump railed against JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its leader Jamie Dimon, threatening to sue the banking giant over his claim that he was debanked after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.<\/p>\n
In a\u00a0post\u00a0Saturday, Trump responded to a Wall Street Journal story that said Trump offered Dimon the role of Federal Reserve chief several months ago in a way that Dimon interpreted as a joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was never such an offer and, in fact, I\u2019ll be suing JPMorgan Chase over the next two weeks for incorrectly and inappropriately DEBANKING me after the January 6th Protest,\u201d Trump wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t elaborate. JPMorgan didn\u2019t immediately respond to a weekend request for comment.<\/p>\n
Trump claimed in August that JPMorgan \u201cdiscriminated against me very badly\u201d when he alleged the bank asked him to close accounts he held for decades, an action he believes was connected to his supporters stormed the Capitol to stop the 2021 certification of President Joe Biden\u2019s victory. The bank later said it\u2019s facing reviews, investigations and legal proceedings tied to the Trump administration\u2019s fight against \u201cdebanking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dimon said earlier this week he wouldn\u2019t consider being the Fed chair.<\/p>\n
In response to a question Thursday at a US Chamber of Commerce event about whether he\u2019d consider taking over the central bank, Dimon said, \u201cChairman of the Fed, I\u2019d put in the absolutely, positively no chance, no way, no how, for any reason.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for running the Treasury, \u201cI would take the call,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump has not yet said who he will nominate to succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose term as Chair ends in May. Trump said Friday he has a pick in his mind but declined to identify them.<\/p>\n

Dimon\u2019s comments follow a public back-and-forth between Dimon and Trump earlier this week over the president\u2019s attacks on the Fed, including criminal subpoenas issued by the Justice Department over the renovation of the Fed\u2019s headquarters. Dimon said Tuesday that chipping away at Fed independence is \u201cnot a great idea,\u201d and could lead to higher inflation and interest rates over time.<\/p>\n
Dimon has pushed back in the past against attempts by Trump\u2019s allies to suggest that the bank\u2019s customer decisions are biased.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do not debank people\u2019s religious or political affiliations,\u201d Dimon told Fox Business in December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
