Capital One has requested a judge to permanently dismiss a lawsuit filed by Trump-affiliated businesses regarding the closure of their bank accounts. The bank contends that a months-long internal review focused on anti-money laundering concerns, rather than the January 6 riot, was the reason behind shutting down hundreds of accounts in 2021.

The dispute centers on the Trump Organization and related entities, with Capital One maintaining that the account closures were part of standard compliance procedures. This explanation contrasts with claims linking the closures directly to the events of January 6.
