Former JPMorgan Chase executive Jes Staley tells a US House committee he repeatedly shared confidential and market-sensitive bank information with Jeffrey Epstein, according to a transcript released by the committee. The document describes admissions made during Staley’s testimony as lawmakers investigate Epstein’s ties with political and business figures.
Staley also says he was at one point named a trustee of Epstein’s estate, the transcript adds. The questioning occurs as the committee continues its inquiry into Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and follows earlier committee testimony by Staley in July. The released transcript is part of the committee’s broader effort to detail what Staley knew and when, and to examine the relationship between the former banker and Epstein.
Coverage of the disclosure focuses on what information Staley says he shared and the role he reportedly held connected to Epstein’s estate. Different outlets emphasize either the bank-information element or the estate-trustee detail, while both reflect the committee’s publication of the testimony transcript.
