Jes Staley Agrees to July 23 House Interview on Epstein Ties
10 articles · Updated · CNBC · May 31
July 23 is when former Barclays CEO and ex-JPMorgan executive Jes Staley will give a voluntary transcribed interview to the House Oversight Committee about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The panel has widened its Epstein inquiry with interviews or scheduled sessions involving Bill Gates on June 10, Leon Black on June 26, Kathryn Ruemmler on July 15, and Staley after them; Pam Bondi was interviewed Friday.
Staley’s Epstein ties drew scrutiny because Epstein was a major JPMorgan client when Staley ran the bank’s private wealth and asset-management businesses.
JPMorgan paid $290 million to Epstein victims and $75 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2023, while separately reaching a confidential settlement with Staley over related claims.
Staley already left Barclays in 2021 after a UK probe into how he described his Epstein relationship, and regulators later fined him more than $2 million and banned him from management roles.
