Trump rebukes Bank of America, Chase for debanking Conservatives

Jan 24, 2025

Sam Brownback, the former U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, welcomed President Donald Trump publicly rebuking the CEOs of Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase for allegedly “debanking” conservatives.

“I’m delighted,” Brownback, who also served as a U.S. senator and governor of Kansas before assuming the ambassador position in Trump’s first administration, told The Christian Post Thursday.

“This thing has been swept under the carpet for way too long, and to get it finally out in the open is an important step to getting it solved.”

After Trump called out their CEOs in front of a global audience this week, both JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America have drawn renewed scrutiny for their alleged discriminatory practices against conservatives and Christians.

Trump first rebuked Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan to his face Thursday after addressing the elite international World Economic Forum’s 2025 Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, remotely from Washington, D.C.

“I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, they don’t take conservative business,” Trump told Moynihan, who has served as CEO of Bank of America since 2010 and was speaking to Trump as part of a panel with other major CEOs.

The bank account of the National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF), a nonpartisan, multi-faith nonprofit Brownback launched in 2022, was shuttered by JPMorgan Chase without explanation less than three weeks after it was opened that year.

Brownback alleged at the time that JPMorgan Chase stonewalled their executive director when he asked the bank why the account had been closed.

“The people said the decision was made at the corporate level, it’s secret, we’re not going to tell you why, and it’s irrevocable,” Brownback toldFOX Business. “We were just stunned.” READ MORE
