(WND)—As JPMorgan Chase Bank is under investigation by the state of Florida for alleged coordination with the Biden Department of Justice and Operation Arctic Frost, the chairman of the company is admitting to debanking certain customers, but says it has nothing to do with their political or religious affiliations.
“We do debank them,” said JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon who appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel.
“People have to grow up here and stop making up things and stuff like that. I can’t talk about an individual account.
“We do not debank people for religious or political affiliations. We do debank them. They have religious and political affiliations. We debank people who are Democrats, we debank people who are Republicans, we debank religious folks. Never was that for that reason.”
Dimon was responding to comments last month from Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes who said his company was debanked by JPMorgan Chase.
“When the Arctic Frost went after our bank records at Trump Media, that’s inexplicable because we didn’t exist,” Nunes told Bartiromo on Nov. 9. “So what reason did they have to go after us? And I’ve seen Jamie Dimon and others at JPMorgan say this over and over again that they don’t debank people for political reasons. Well, then why the hell did you debank Trump Media?”
Dimon on Sunday explained: “I don’t like debanking people. We live under very strict rules and regulations and requirements. And to protect the country and we have to report things to the government. We’re required to report things to the government. I can’t even tell you when we do it.”
He said he wants to change the rules by which banks are currently bound.
“I actually applaud the Trump administration which is tying to say the debanking’s bad, and let’s change the rules. Well, damn it, I’ve been asking to change the rules now for 15 years. So change the rules!” Dimon exclaimed.
“And that’s why a lot of this stuff takes place. It is really customer unfriendly. We’re debanking people ’cause of suspected things or negative media or all of these various things.”
He continued: “We don’t give information to the government just because they ask. We’re subpoenaed. We’re required by court to give it to the government. And I’ve been following subpoenas with this administration, the last administration, the administration before that and the one before that. And I don’t agree with a lot of it. The government does a lot of things that get angry with banks.”
“Let’s just take a deep breath and fix the problems as opposed to blame someone who’s put in that position.”
“I would tell the government, ‘If we see something that might possibly be bad, we’ll report it to you, and you decide.’ Why do we have to decide? That’s the position we’re put in.”
When asked if corporate America was being asked to do the government’s dirty work, Dimon replied: “Democratic, Republican governments have come after us both. So let’s not act like this is just one side doing this.”
“This has been going for a long time. And we should stop militarizing the government in that kind of way.”
Last month, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the launch of an official investigation into JPMorgan Chase Bank in connection with Operation Arctic Frost, as the Biden administration sought phone records of political enemies.
“It’s come to our attention that JPMorgan debanked Trump Media Group, a Florida-based company, right before the business went public,” Uthmeier said. “This is a crucial time for any company, a time where you cannot afford to lose your bank.”
Uthmeier also claimed JPMorgan sought large amounts of information from Trump Media unrelated to its business practices and may have shared sensitive data with Biden’s DOJ without probable cause.
“This is wrong. We will not tolerate it, and we will hold them accountable,” he added.
“Here in Florida, we’ve passed legislation to protect our consumers from wrongful debanking, and we will stand by our consumers,” he said.
As WorldNetDaily reported in January, Congress is now investigating the debanking of Americans who hold conservative political views.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky, wondered at the time: “Are these bank examiners with a wink and a nod saying don’t let this person bank at your bank?”

Safeguarding Your American Dream: Discover the Power of America First Healthcare
In today’s economy, healthcare costs remain one of the biggest threats to financial stability and family security. Americans work hard to build a better life, yet rising medical expenses can quickly erode savings, force tough trade-offs, and even push families toward debt or bankruptcy. Medical bills continue to rank as the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States, with millions facing underinsurance or unexpected out-of-pocket burdens that no one plans for. Many turn to government-run marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act, hoping for relief, only to discover that what appears affordable on paper often delivers higher long-term costs, limited real protection, and coverage that may not align with personal values or family needs.
America First Healthcare stands out as a private insurance agency dedicated to helping conservatives and families secure better coverage and better rates through customized, values-aligned options. By conducting free insurance reviews, the agency uncovers hidden gaps in existing policies and connects clients with private alternatives that emphasize personal responsibility, small-government principles, and genuine affordability—often delivering up to 20% savings while providing stronger protection for the American Dream.
The allure of marketplace plans is easy to understand: open enrollment periods, premium tax credits for many households, and the promise of “comprehensive” benefits mandated by law. Yet recent data reveals a different reality, especially after the expiration of enhanced premium subsidies at the end of 2025. Enrollment for 2026 dropped by more than one million people compared to the prior year, with many shifting to lower-tier bronze plans to keep monthly premiums manageable.
These plans feature significantly higher deductibles—averaging around $7,500 nationally—and greater cost-sharing requirements. Families who once paid modest amounts after subsidies now face average premium increases of $65 or more per month, even as they accept plans that leave them responsible for thousands in upfront costs before meaningful coverage kicks in.
High deductibles create a dangerous barrier to care. Studies show that people in such plans are less likely to seek timely treatment for chronic conditions, attend preventive screenings, or fill necessary prescriptions. A seemingly minor illness or injury can balloon into major expenses when patients delay care until problems worsen. For a family of four, a single hospitalization, cancer diagnosis, or unexpected surgery can easily exceed the deductible, triggering coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums that still leave substantial bills. One recent analysis noted that some proposed changes could push family deductibles toward $31,000 in future years, further exposing households to financial risk.
Beyond the numbers, marketplace plans often carry structural limitations. Coverage for certain critical services may include waiting periods or narrower networks that restrict access to preferred doctors and specialists. Preventive care is required to be covered without cost-sharing, but everything else—lab work, imaging, specialist visits, or ongoing treatment—typically waits until the deductible is met. This reactive model contrasts sharply with the proactive, holistic approach many families prefer, especially those focused on wellness, early intervention, and maintaining health to enjoy life rather than merely reacting to illness.
Values alignment represents another growing concern. Government-influenced plans operate within a framework shaped by federal mandates and political priorities that may not reflect conservative principles of limited government, personal freedom, and ethical stewardship. Families who want to direct their healthcare dollars toward providers and benefits that honor traditional values sometimes find marketplace options feel misaligned, forcing a compromise between affordability and conviction.
Private alternatives, by contrast, offer year-round flexibility without the restrictions of open enrollment windows. Independent agents can shop across a wider range of carriers to design plans tailored to specific family needs—whether that means lower deductibles for frequent medical users, broader provider networks, or add-ons that support wellness and preventive services from day one. Clients frequently report more stable premiums that do not automatically escalate each year, along with genuine cost savings once the full picture of deductibles, copays, and coverage depth is considered.
Take the experience of real families who made the switch. Amanda C. shared that her new plan felt “way better” than what she had through the marketplace. Johnny Y. noted his previous coverage kept increasing annually until he found a more stable private option. Sofia S. expressed delight with her plan and began recommending it to others. These stories echo a common theme: when families move beyond one-size-fits-all government marketplaces, they often discover customized protection that better safeguards both health and finances.
Founder Jordan Sarmiento’s own journey underscores the stakes. In 2021, a six-day hospitalization generated a $95,000 bill. Under a well-structured private “Conservative Care Coverage” plan, his out-of-pocket responsibility would have been just $500. That stark difference illustrates how thoughtful planning and private options can prevent a medical event from becoming a financial catastrophe.
Practical steps exist for anyone questioning their current coverage. Start with a no-obligation review of your existing policy to identify gaps—high deductibles, limited critical-care benefits, or escalating premiums. Compare total projected costs (premiums plus potential out-of-pocket expenses) rather than monthly premiums alone. Consider family health history, anticipated needs, and lifestyle priorities. Private agencies can present side-by-side options that include stronger wellness incentives, broader access, and plans built on shared values of self-reliance and freedom.
In an era when healthcare inflation continues to outpace general cost-of-living increases, relying solely on marketplace solutions carries growing risk. Families who proactively explore private alternatives frequently achieve meaningful savings while gaining peace of mind that their coverage truly works when needed most.
America First Healthcare makes this exploration straightforward through its free review process. Families and individuals receive personalized guidance to close coverage holes, reduce unnecessary expenses, and secure plans that align with conservative principles—protecting wallets, health, and the American Dream without government overreach. Many who complete a review discover they can enjoy better benefits for less, often saving up to 20% while gaining the customization and stability that marketplace plans struggle to deliver.
Ultimately, protecting your family’s future requires looking beyond the marketing of “affordable” government options. By understanding the long-term costs hidden in high deductibles, shifting coverage tiers, and values mismatches, Americans can make empowered choices. Private, values-driven insurance offers a smarter path—one that rewards diligence, supports wellness, and delivers real security. For those ready to move beyond the limitations of traditional marketplace plans, a simple review can reveal options designed to serve families, not bureaucracies. The American Dream thrives when individuals and families retain control over their healthcare decisions, and thoughtful private coverage plays a vital role in making that possible.
