Following a misleading statement made by the former president on social media, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon reiterated on Friday that he has not endorsed former President Donald Trump.
The statement followed a post by Trump on Truth Social in which he falsely claimed that Dimon had given him his endorsement for the 2024 presidential contest.
“Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone. He has not endorsed a candidate,” Joe Evangelisti, a spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase, told CBS News in a statement.]
A screenshot that Trump posted purportedly showed that Dimon—one of the most powerful people in the financial sector—had endorsed the former president. In response to a question from NBC News, Trump said he was not aware of the post, which as of Friday night was still accessible on his Truth Social account.
Requests for response were not answered by the Trump campaign. Pro-Trump fans soon took to the tweet, which seemed to have come from a verified account on X (previously Twitter) earlier in the day.
Although Dimon had previously backed former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley during the Republican primary, he has not publicly endorsed Trump.
This isn’t the first time Trump has falsely claimed high-profile endorsements. In August, he shared AI-generated images suggesting pop star Taylor Swift was backing him, only for Swift to endorse his political opponent, Kamala Harris, weeks later.
