Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley is scheduled to testify in a closed-door session before a U.S. House committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Multiple outlets report that Staley will answer questions from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform regarding his past relationships and connections to Epstein. Staley, who joined Barclays in 2015 after more than three decades at JPMorgan Chase, is described as the latest high-profile figure to appear before lawmakers in connection with the Epstein probe. Epstein, who was convicted of child sex-trafficking-related offenses, died in prison in August 2019 while awaiting trial. The testimony is set to take place on Thursday and is reported to be conducted privately with committee members. While the outlets characterize the inquiry as focusing on Staley’s links to Epstein, they do not present new allegations or findings in the excerpts provided. The session reflects ongoing congressional scrutiny of individuals connected to Epstein’s network and the circumstances surrounding those relationships.
