纽约,9月2日(路透社)——美国一名民主党参议员已敦促第一资本金融公司(COF.N)提供有关其内部反洗钱审查的细节。该银行上月表示,此次审查导致其关闭了与总统唐纳德·特朗普及其企业相关的账户。

路透社最先报道,参议员玛吉·哈桑(新罕布什尔州民主党人)于周二晚间致信第一资本首席执行官理查德·费尔班克,要求其提供相关文件,包括促使该行开展此次审查的交易、预警信号及其他因素,以及该行就此事与执法部门或监管机构的任何沟通内容。

“美国民众有权了解真相,”哈桑写道。她是国会联合经济委员会的民主党最高顺位议员。

第一资本拒绝置评。

白宫和特朗普集团的发言人未立即回复置评请求。

特朗普集团及总统之子埃里克·特朗普于2025年3月起诉第一资本,指控该行2021年关闭数百个关联账户的行为出于政治动机。

这家美国银行否认此举基于政治考量。在7月的法庭文件中,该行表示,关闭账户是其反洗钱团队“按照银行政策和监管指引”进行审慎审查的结果。该行从未指控特朗普集团存在洗钱行为。在随后的法庭文件中,原告方称此次反洗钱审查只是借口。

若第一资本配合调查,哈桑的要求可能会进一步揭示该总统企业的财务往来情况,以及特朗普“拒绝提供金融服务”的指控是否站得住脚。

“拒绝提供金融服务”——指基于宗教或政治理由拒绝提供服务——在特朗普第二任期内愈发受到关注。这位总统及政府官员大肆宣扬保守派观点,称“觉醒”即左翼倾向的大型金融机构通过限制银行服务渠道,针对保守派个人、团体和企业。银行业则表示,银行关闭账户只是遵守了联邦法规。

2025年8月,特朗普签署行政令,旨在遏制歧视性的拒绝金融服务行为,并于今年1月以类似理由起诉摩根大通(JPM.N)。该行否认相关指控。美国顶级银行监管机构货币监理署也正在调查多家机构的拒绝金融服务问题。

在致费尔班克的信中,哈桑写道,国会监督工作需要更多相关信息。

信中要求第一资本指出触发此次审查的具体行为,解释其适用的政策,说明导致账户关闭的调查结果,并在法律允许的范围内,披露该行就此事向联邦或州当局提交的任何转诊报告或沟通内容。

Democratic US senator asks Capital One for details on Trump account anti-money laundering review

NEW YORK, Sept 2 (Reuters) – A Democratic U.S. senator has pressed Capital One Financial

COF.N
for details about an internal anti-money laundering review that the bank said last month led it to close accounts linked ​to President Donald Trump and his businesses.

In a letter sent to Capital One CEO ‌Richard Fairbank on Tuesday evening and first reported by Reuters, Senator Maggie Hassan, a New Hampshire Democrat, asked for documents describing the transactions, alerts and other factors that prompted the review, as well as any communications with law enforcement ​or regulators related to the matter.

“The American people deserve to know,” wrote Hassan, the top ​Democrat on the Joint Economic Committee.

Capital One declined to comment.

Spokespeople for the White House ⁠and Trump Organization did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Trump Organization and Eric Trump, ​the president’s son, sued Capital One in March 2025 alleging the bank’s closure in 2021 of hundreds ​of affiliated accounts was politically motivated.

The U.S. bank has denied acting on political grounds. In a July court filing, it said the closures were the result of a careful review by Capital One’s AML team “in accordance with bank policies and ​regulatory guidance.” It has never accused the Trump Organization of money laundering. In a subsequent court ​filing, the plaintiffs said the AML review was pretextual.

If Capital One complies, Hassan’s request could shed further light on the ‌financial ⁠dealings of the president’s companies, as well as whether Trump’s “debanking” allegations have merit.

Debanking — denying services on religious or political grounds — has gained prominence during Trump’s second term. The president and administration officials have amplified conservative claims that “woke” — or left-leaning — large financial institutions have targeted conservative-leaning individuals, groups and businesses by restricting access to ​banking services. The industry ​has said lenders merely ⁠followed federal regulations when closing accounts.

In August 2025, Trump signed an executive order aimed at curbing discriminatory debanking practices and sued JPMorgan Chase

JPM.N
in January on ​similar grounds. The bank denies the claims. A top banking regulator, the Office ​of the ⁠Comptroller of the Currency, is also probing the issue of debanking across several institutions.

In the letter to Fairbank, Hassan wrote that additional information is needed for congressional oversight.

The letter asked Capital One to identify the activity that ⁠triggered its ​review, explain the policies it applied, describe the findings that ​led to the account closures and, to the extent permitted by law, disclose any referrals or communications with federal or state ​authorities tied to the matter.
