John Eastman, once an attorney for former President Donald Trump, was de-banked twice in the span of several months by two prominent financial institutions, Bank of America and USAA, he told the Daily Caller.
Eastman said he had switched most of his banking from Bank of America to USAA, a company that provides financial services exclusively to military veterans as well as their families, due to the former's "Wokeness." Both corporations are federally insured, and Bank of America was bailed out with billions of dollars in taxpayer funds during the global financial crisis.
Bank of America alerted Eastman in September of 2023 that it would be closing his accounts, a letter obtained by the Daily Caller shows.
Shortly thereafter, USAA notified Eastman in November that his two bank accounts with the company would be closed, a separate letter shows.
Eastman told the Daily Caller he was using the accounts he had set up with Bank of America and USAA for personal finances.
"We had Bank of America accounts for about 40 years. But just because of their wokeness we kind of quit a couple of years ago, using them much. They've got physical locations and therefore easy ATM, so we kept our accounts there, but we didn't use much. And about four or five years ago, we opened USAA bank accounts and we were using those as our primaries," Eastman said.
Neither bank specified to Eastman whether the closing of his accounts was for political reasons, though he has his suspicions.
