Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, is looking into whether major banks have closed customers’ accounts over politics, according to a new report.
Pirro’s office subpoenaed Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and other top banks, seeking information on whether they engaged in debanking — a process by which banks can suddenly close accounts — for political reasons, The Wall Street Journal reported. The banks were asked to list the customers whose accounts were allegedly closed and the reasons why, people familiar with the issue told the outlet.
