From Warren's inquiry letter (the whole thing is a good summary) -
(snip)
Epstein’s client relationship with JPMorgan spanned from 1998 to 2013, overlapping with your
tenure as CEO, which began in 2006. During this period, Epstein would become a highly
profitable client for the bank. In 2003, JPMorgan is reported to have made $8 million in fees off
Epstein, “the biggest revenue generator” among a certain class of investor clients.3 Epstein (and
his companies and associates) opened at least 134 accounts, processed over $1 billion in
transactions, and brought in several lucrative clients.4

In light of this new reporting and the release of new materials by the Department of Justice
(DOJ) in response to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, I seek additional information regarding
JPMorgan and your relationship with Epstein. I request answers to the following questions no
later than July 24, 2026:
1. Did you, or any other JPMorgan employee, direct or otherwise collaborate with Epstein
to lobby U.K. officials regarding the bankers’ bonus tax proposal? If so, was Epstein
compensated by you, Jes Staley, or JPMorgan, directly or indirectly, for this service?
2. Did you ever call then-Chancellor Darling regarding the U.K. bankers’ bonus tax?
13 Financial Times, “JPMorgan should ‘threaten’ UK over banker tax, Mandelson told Epstein,” Jim Packard,
February 1, 2026,
https://www.ft.com/content/91e8142a-3d4c-4222-a5ad-6548fc9907d1.
3. Did Epstein or any JPMorgan employee, advise you to “mildly threaten” then-Chancellor
Darling to reduce the bonus tax? If applicable, which JPMorgan employee?
4. Please provide copies of JPMorgan’s policies and procedures related to retaining external
lobbyists in both the U.K. and U.S.
5. Provide copies of any communications, including but not limited to emails, texts, or
phone records, between you and Peter Mandelson, Jes Staley and Alistair Darling
regarding the U.K. bankers’ bonus tax proposal.
6. During Epstein’s 15-year long relationship with JPMorgan, you served as CEO for about
seven years. At one point, Epstein became one of JPMorgan’s most profitable clients –
opening at least 134 accounts, processing over $1 billion in transactions, and recruiting
other wealthy clients. You have repeatedly denied under oath that you did not know
Epstein existed until his 2019 arrest and that you have never met with Epstein. In your
experience, is it typical that a CEO would not have any awareness of their firm’s top
clients?
