Florida AG launches investigation into JP Morgan Chase for its targeting of Trump Media in FBI probe

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Monday launched an investigation into JPMorgan over its failure to notify President Donald Trump that former Special Counsel Jack Smith was seeking Trump Media's bank records as part of the Arctic Frost probe.

Trump Media and Technology Group CEO Devin Nunes on Sunday tore into Smith and JPMorgan for its efforts to obtain the company's bank records and emphasized that the company did not exist in 2021, when the January 6 riot occurred.

Uthmeier notified JPMorgan Chase of the investigation in a letter, which also comes after the Biden administration was accused of spying on Republican senators and lawmakers as part of the Arctic Frost investigation.

“I write to express grave concerns about the explosive revelations regarding the Biden Administration’s pursuit of its political adversaries, and [JPMorgan Chase’s] ensuing actions in the shadow of this operation, codenamed ‘Arctic Frost,'” Uthmeier wrote, according to the Daily Wire. 

“This activity may implicate numerous Florida criminal and civil anti-fraud laws and de-banking prohibitions, as well as a breach of the basic, fundamental duties owed to your banking customers,” the letter continues. “Rest assured, this office will be investigating to ascertain the nature of these secret and suspicious circumstances. I have directed my Office of Statewide Prosecution and Enforcement Division to begin investigating this matter immediately.”

Recent documents have shown that the Biden administration's FBI opened an investigation into Trump and hundreds of his allies over their Jan. 6 activities, which included obtaining phone records and geolocations of prominent lawmakers.
