Melania Trump Claims She and Barron Were Debanked Over Politics; Legal Concerns Raised Under Fourth Amendment
Nov 29, 2024, 10:37 PM
Melania Trump has claimed that she and her son, Barron, were debanked due to political reasons, as detailed in her memoir. This revelation highlights ongoing concerns regarding the practice of debanking, where financial institutions deny services based on an individual's political views. Critics, including various commentators and journalists, argue that debanking should be illegal and that it violates constitutional rights, specifically referencing the Fourth Amendment. There is a growing call for Congress to enact legal protections against government influence that might lead to debanking without formal legal cause. The discussion has gained traction following claims made by prominent figures, including investor Marc Andreessen, who has raised questions about the legality of debanking political opponents.
