'Rather Despicable': John Eastman Speaks Out After Bank Of America, USAA Shut Down His Accounts
Pay attention to this. Banking is increasingly going to be used as a political weapon against opponents of the regime. We already saw this in Canada with the trucker protests. We saw it in Britain with Nigel Farage. We're going to start seeing it here more and more often.

One of the left's biggest political targets recently found himself "de-banked" with no warning and little avenue for recourse, the Daily Caller has learned.
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. His accounts were closed as he faced substantial backlash for his work advising Trump around the time of the 2020 election.
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.
"And then two months later, we get a similar letter from USAA saying that they've decided that they're going to close your account and they did like three weeks later," Eastman told the Daily Caller. "And so that was where all of our automatic payments were coming out of, all our automatic deposits. So it was a real pain to shift everything. We had to get a new bank account opened and shift everything over."
