Staley Told Congress He Fed Epstein Bank Secrets
The News
Former JPMorgan Chase executive Jes Staley told U.S. lawmakers he repeatedly passed confidential, market-sensitive bank information to Jeffrey Epstein — and was at one point named a trustee of Epstein's estate.
The admission comes from a transcript of Staley's closed-door interview released Wednesday by the House Oversight Committee.
Staley, who later ran Barclays, has denied any wrongdoing.
What He Said
In the transcript, Staley acknowledged sharing confidential and market-sensitive information about the bank with Epstein on repeated occasions, and said he was at one point named as a trustee of Epstein's estate, according to CTV News.
Staley also described an intimate encounter with a woman who worked as Epstein's assistant, the New York Post reported. He was adamant the encounter was consensual and that Epstein did not set it up.
Timeline
Staley was the executive responsible for JPMorgan's roughly 15-year relationship with Epstein, according to Just the News.
His name appears thousands of times in the Epstein files, MSNBC reported.
The House Oversight Committee interviewed Staley last month.
On Aug. 26, 2026, the committee released the transcript of that interview.
Reactions
Staley has consistently denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
JPMorgan has denied being complicit in Epstein's crimes.
What's Next
The Oversight Committee's release adds Staley's account to the growing public record of the Epstein files. Further document and transcript releases from the committee's investigation are the next thing to watch.
