Former JPMorgan Executive Jes Staley Admits Sharing Confidential Bank Information with Jeffrey Epstein
Jes Staley, former executive at JPMorgan Chase, admitted to sharing confidential bank information with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a closed-door interview with the U.S. House Oversight Committee in July 2026. The details were revealed through transcripts released by Congress as part of its investigation into Epstein's ties with political and business elites. Staley disclosed that he shared sensitive data, including JPMorgan’s communications with the Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis, private bank inflows, his own compensation, and pending deals. He also confirmed being named a trustee for Epstein’s estate in 2014 but later declined to serve without receiving any compensation. Staley maintained that he believed he had authority over what information could be shared at the time and was unaware of Epstein's criminal activities. JPMorgan has not commented on these revelations, which add new scrutiny to Staley’s relationship with Epstein.
