Former President Donald Trump claimed Friday on Truth Social that he’d received the endorsement of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who appeared to have no knowledge of the development and immediately disavowed it.
“New: Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has endorsed Trump for President,” a post on Trump’s Truth Social account read.
As of Friday afternoon, the lie had garnered 6,910 likes and 2,270 “ReTruths.”
A spokesperson for Dimon unequivocally denied the claim.
“Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone,” Joe Evangelisti told CNBC. “He has not endorsed a candidate.”
The Trump campaign didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
When an NBC reporter asked Trump about the post, the Republican presidential nominee said he knew nothing about it.
