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

PANews reported on February 21 that, according to Jinshi, JPMorgan Chase has filed a request with the court to transfer the lawsuit filed by Trump over the closure of his accounts from Miami to a federal court in New York. In its filing, the company stated that Trump and several companies involved in the lawsuit agreed in writing when the accounts were opened that any disputes would be litigated in New York, where the bank is headquartered. JPMorgan Chase also stated that transferring the case is in the public interest due to the overwhelming connection between the dispute and New York. According to the bank's filing, the accounts in question 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 took place in New York. Trump sued the bank and its CEO Jamie Dimon in January of this year, seeking at least $5 billion in damages, accusing the bank of "debanking" him and his companies after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
