WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Senate Banking Committee, and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) sent a letter to Acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael J. Hsu raising concerns about Americans losing access to banking services due to their political affiliation or beliefs.
“Recently, reports surfaced that the credit cards of Lori Flynn, wife of Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, USA, Retired, former National Security Adviser to President Trump, were allegedly terminated by JPMorgan Chase & Co. due to the bank’s concerns with the ‘reputational risk’ that affiliation with Mrs. Flynn could bring to the company,” the senators wrote. “If political views are considered a valid factor in a bank’s determination of reputational risk for the purposes of determining access to credit, the banking services of millions of Americans could be put in jeopardy.”
