Jes Staley Faces Day One of Deposition in JPMorgan Epstein Suits

Former JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive Jes Staley has faced his first day of testimony about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein as part of lawsuits alleging the bank enabled the late financier’s sex-trafficking.

Staley arrived at the New York offices of law firm Boies Schiller Flexner on Saturday morning with his attorney Brendan Sullivan for a deposition, which concluded later that afternoon.

The 66-year-old has kept a low profile since his relationship with Epstein came under intense scrutiny, forcing him to step down as the chief executive office of Barclays Plc in 2021.

Jes Staley departs the offices of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP in New York, US, on June 10.
