Capital One bank has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from the Trump
Organization over the closure of hundreds of bank accounts back in 2021, arguing
in new papers that the shutdowns were the product of a monthslong
anti-money-laundering review — not retaliation for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, as
the Trump family businesses have claimed.
In a motion to dismiss the case filed Friday in a Florida federal court, Capital
One's lawyers wrote that the bank's own filings and the Trump businesses'
allegations "make clear that Capital One closed Plaintiffs' accounts for
anti-money laundering ('AML') reasons."
The bank said the decision followed "months of analysis and a careful review" by
its financial-crimes team, which it said was staffed by employees with "decades
of law enforcement experience." But the filings suggest the Trump Organization
and affiliated entities were given no opportunity to address any
money-laundering or compliance concerns before the accounts' closures.

The Trump Organization alleges Capital One moved to distance itself from Donald
Trump after the Capitol riot and that the bank's cited anti-money-laundering
rationale was invented after the fact to cover for that decision.
Capital One has flatly denied those assertions, with its lawyers arguing in the
new filing that the Trump's theory rests on "cherry-picked quotations
unsupported by the full context" of the bank's own records, and that nothing in
the complaint shows the anti-money-laundering explanation was a cover story.
[...]
Beyond disputing the facts, Capital One has reiterated in the new court filing
it had the right to close any account "at any time, for any or no reason and
without notice" — language the Trump companies do not dispute.
The presiding judge, Roy Altman, had already dismissed an earlier version of the
lawsuit in March on similar grounds, ruling that a bank's reason for closing an
account under that kind of open-ended contract clause generally cannot be
second-guessed in court.
[...]
Capital One's attorneys say the bank had no obligation to explain itself in the
first place, and separately argue that federal banking-secrecy law would have
barred it from disclosing internal anti-money-laundering findings even if it
wanted to.

Trumpstein and his two failsons are money launderers. This comes as a surprise
to no one.
