JPMorgan's Dimon questioned on whether he lobbied UK government on Epstein's advice, FT reports
Warren sought records on whether Dimon or other JPMorgan staff helped Epstein influence U.K. bonus-tax policy, after DOJ emails renewed scrutiny.
- Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter last week to JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon demanding information on whether he lobbied the U.K. government on Jeffrey Epstein's advice, the Financial Times reported.
- Documents released by the Department of Justice reveal that in 2009, then-U.K. Business Secretary Peter Mandelson advised Epstein to have Dimon "mildly threaten" then-Chancellor Alistair Darling over a proposed tax on bankers' bonuses above £25,000.
- JPMorgan denied Dimon met, emailed, or took counsel from Epstein, reiterating his 2023 deposition and noting the bank terminated the client relationship in 2013.
- The Senate Banking Committee published the letter on Monday, with Warren requesting answers by July 24, 2026, regarding potential coordination on British tax policy.
- These inquiries follow legal settlements totaling $365 million regarding the bank's handling of Epstein's accounts, including $290 million to victims and $75 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
