JPMorgan Chase has applied to move Trump's lawsuit to the federal court in New York.

JPMorgan Chase has submitted a request to the court to transfer the lawsuit filed by Trump regarding the closure of his accounts from Miami to the federal court in New York. In the submitted documents, the company stated that Trump and several businesses he sued had agreed in writing at the time of account opening that any disputes would be litigated in New York, where the bank's headquarters are located. JPMorgan Chase also stated that since this dispute has an overwhelming connection to New York, transferring the case is in the public interest. According to the documents submitted by the bank, the accounts involved were opened in New York, the bankers managing these accounts are located in New York, and the alleged activities that triggered Trump's lawsuit also occurred in New York. Trump sued the bank and its CEO Jamie Dimon in January this year, claiming at least $5 billion, accusing the bank of "debanking" him and his companies after his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
