Donald Trump denies offering JPMorgan’s Dimon the role of Fed chair

US President Donald Trump slammed The Wall Street Journal for reporting that he offered Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, the job of Federal Reserve chairman. In a lengthy statement on social media, Trump said the claim was “totally untrue” and insisted the paper never contacted him for verification.

He said the report “states, without any verification, that I offered Jamie Dimon… the job of Fed Chairman,” adding that “there was never such an offer.” Trump said he would have “very quickly told them, ‘NO,’” and that would have ended the story.

The president also said the Wall Street Journal suggested he offered Dimon the role of US Treasury Secretary, but Trump dismissed the claim, saying the position was already being handled by “Scott Bessent doing a fantastic job, A SUPERSTAR.” He added, “Why would I give it to Jamie? No such offer was made there, or even thought of, either.”

Trump further accused JPMorgan of “incorrectly and inappropriately DEBANKING me after the January 6th Protest,” and said he plans to sue the bank within the next two weeks. He also reiterated his claim that “The Election was RIGGED,” saying the protest ultimately proved correct for those involved.

Trump concluded by urging the paper to improve its “fact checking,” warning that its credibility would continue to “DIVE.”
