Takeaways from Jes Staley’s testimony about Epstein
The former JPMorgan and Barclays executive said he had consensual sex with one of Epstein’s ‘assistants’ and he warned Epstein about his cash withdrawals.
Former Barclays and JPMorgan executive Jes Staley testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Staley admitted to visiting Epstein's private island three times and his townhouse numerous times. He also testified that he had sexual relations with one of Epstein's assistants around 2010.
Staley claimed he didn't know about Epstein's crimes and regretted associating with him. He denied having sex with a woman he called "Snow White" in an email exchange with Epstein, stating it was "fun" and he may have seen her in Epstein's apartment. Staley confirmed he warned Epstein about JPMorgan's concerns regarding large cash withdrawals from his accounts.
Staley denied any intention to help Epstein evade scrutiny and admitted that JPMorgan suspected Epstein of sex trafficking as early as 2011. He also testified that he spoke with JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon about Epstein twice - once in 2006 when Epstein was indicted and again in 2008 when Epstein went to jail. However, JPMorgan's spokeswoman denied any such conversations had occurred.
