Nunes tears into former special counsel Jack Smith and JPMorgan for targeting Trump Media
"JPMorgan, should they have complied with this knowing that we weren't around? They had to know that our company wasn't around on January 6, we were never notified. Trump Media company wasn't notified," Nunes says
Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, now the CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group, on Sunday tore into JPMorgan for not informing President Donald Trump that Special Counsel Jack Smith was seeking its bank records as part of the Arctic Frost investigation.
"We just became a public company in 2024, and we were nowhere around in 2021 on January 6th. So why would Trump Media be subpoenaed at that time during this investigation? It doesn't make any sense," he said on FoxNews' Sunday Morning Futures.
"JPMorgan, should they have complied with this knowing that we weren't around? They had to know that our company wasn't around on January 6th. We were never notified. Trump Media company wasn't notified," he added.
Nunes wants to know why JPMorgan inexplicably "debanked" Trump Media as the company went public.
"We need to know why that happened. After discussing this with them for several months, going back and forth, it looked political at the time, but now we know that they were under subpoenas that they didn't tell us about as they were cooperating with the Biden Department of Justice," he said.
Nunes said the company was going public with $250 million and no debt.
"We just got approval by the SEC. Why would you debank somebody that wants to deposit $250 million into your bank, supposedly one of the largest banks in the world with high integrity? These are questions that will be answered, and we will make sure, as a company, that they are answered," he said.
JPMorgan didn't respond to a request for comment.
