Former JP Morgan Banker Allegedly Pushed to Keep Epstein as Client
The committee’s inquiry includes his ties to Epstein and a review of how federal investigators handled the case, officials said.
- Former Barclays Chief Executive Jes Staley will testify on Thursday in a closed-door congressional hearing over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, appearing after Kentucky Republican James Comer requested his voluntary participation.
- Staley spent more than 30 years at JPMorgan Chase managing ultra-wealthy clients including Epstein before becoming Barclays CEO in 2015; following Epstein's 2019 death, victims sued claiming the bank and Staley ignored trafficking red flags.
- The Financial Conduct Authority cited over 1,000 emails in which Staley described Epstein as "profound" and "family," determining he misled regulators about the relationship's extent and timing, leading to his 2021 resignation from Barclays.
- Staley, who has not been charged, denies all wrongdoing and maintains he had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes, though he faces a Los Angeles lawsuit alleging he and Barclays defrauded shareholders about the relationship.
- Justice Department records released earlier this year include unproven allegations against Staley, but DOJ has stated repeatedly that no credible evidence supports new federal criminal investigations as the House Oversight Committee expands its inquiry to include Clinton, Gates and Lutnick.
