** JPMorgan Chase's JPM.N disclosure last week on U.S. President Donald Trump's bank accounts increases non-legal risks as it keeps bank's debanking dispute in headlines, Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo says

** JPM told Trump and his hospitality business in February 2021 it was closing their accounts at the bank, according to new documents released Friday, as part of a $5 billion lawsuit Trump has filed against the bank and CEO Jamie Dimon.

** "This factual confirmation is incremental to the previously known case. It keeps de-banking front and center. It increases JPM-specific exposure to a potential prolonged process," Mayo says

** JPM has previously said that Trump's suit is meritless and denied that it closes accounts for political or religious reasons

** "A solid defense doesn’t eliminate second-order risk: headlines, tougher supervision, policy friction, and narrative risk can arise regardless of court outcomes—more about power asymmetry than legal weakness," Mayo says
