A former Citigroup executive alleged in a lawsuit that she was fired in retaliation for raising regulatory and compliance questions, according to the complaint, which a source familiar with the case said involved a request to open a bank account connected to President Donald Trump.

The complaint, filed in Brooklyn federal court, is heavily redacted and was filed anonymously by Jane Doe, a former managing director in Citigroup’s wealth management division. It includes allegations that she was fired shortly after raising concerns about taking on a new client.
