Trump says JPMorgan Chase, BOA rejected him as a customer
- President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the two largest U.S. banks previously rejected him as a customer, reviving claims that conservative clients were being unfairly denied accounts.
- Trump told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in a wide-ranging interview that JPMorgan Chase informed him he had 20 days to move “hundreds of millions of dollars in cash” to another bank.
- The president then said he approached Bank of America to “deposit a billion dollars-plus” and was told the bank couldn’t provide him an account, Trump said.
