Have you expressed views which are outside of the current overton [1] window politically?

Is the Overton window still inside the Overton window?

It might be by the time I started typing this message, but it could have moved again.

I have not that I know of (I don't use social media). My best guess of what happened (little to no evidence) is that it's somehow money laundering related.

If they thought you were really money-laundering, they wouldn't close your account unless you were actually charged as that could count as "tipping off".

You could always do what Patio11 mentioned in his latest newsletter and buy a share in Chase and then call investor relations.

FYI: not accurate. A bank (etc etc) cannot will not tell a person they suspect or have actual knowledge of money laundering, but they also cannot facilitate it. There is a tiny bit of wiggle room around the edges if e.g. an investigating agency says "Definitely don't touch this until we tell you to" but that is an edge case on an edge case.
