Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley to Testify on Jeffrey Epstein Ties Before Oversight Panel
Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays and a former executive at JPMorgan Chase, has agreed to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on July 23 regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. This decision follows an invitation extended by Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer. The committee has been conducting interviews with several high-profile individuals connected to Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Staley's ties to Epstein have been under scrutiny, particularly during his tenure at JPMorgan, where Epstein was a major client. In 2023, JPMorgan settled lawsuits related to Epstein's activities, agreeing to pay $290 million to victims and $75 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands, without admitting wrongdoing. Staley has previously expressed regret over his association with Epstein.
