JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon to Be Deposed in Epstein Lawsuits
JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon will be deposed over his bank’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, according to people familiar with the matter.
A date for the sworn testimony has not yet been set, one of the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. A judge presiding over the case has ordered all related depositions to be completed by the end of May.
The deposition is connected to two high-profile cases brought against the New York-based bank by an alleged Epstein victim and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the late Epstein had a residence.
Epstein remained a JPMorgan client for five years after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution.
A representative for JPMorgan declined to comment. The Financial Times reported news of Dimon’s deposition earlier, citing people familiar with the matter it didn’t identify.
JPMorgan’s lawyers had previously fought efforts to have Dimon deposed, arguing he had no involvement in decisions about Epstein’s accounts.
