Eric Trump Hints at More Legal Action
Eric Trump, who has taken a leading role in his father’s business operations, hinted that the Capital One lawsuit may be just the beginning. In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), he suggested that similar legal challenges could follow against other financial institutions.
“Businesses should not be targeted or punished for their political affiliations,” the statement reads. “The actions taken by Capital One and other major financial institutions represent a dangerous precedent that could threaten the operations of countless businesses across the nation, particularly those with a strong and independent voice.”
Trump’s legal team argues that such banking practices could create a chilling effect on political expression, forcing companies to align with prevailing ideological trends or risk financial instability.
Capital One Remains Silent on Allegations
As of Friday, Capital One had not responded to requests for comment on the lawsuit. The Trump entities are represented by attorneys Alejandro Brito and Ian Michael Corp of Brito PLLC. Counsel information for Capital One was not immediately available.
The case is expected to draw national attention as debates over corporate influence, financial fairness, and political discrimination continue to escalate in both legal and legislative arenas.
