Comer requests sit-down with former JPMorgan banker in Epstein probe

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer requested an interview with Jes Staley, a former JPMorgan Chase executive, as part of the panel's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and JPMorgan's relationship with the deceased sex offender. Comer's letter cited public reporting and documents released by the Department of Justice as justification for the interview request. The Hill provides attribution to Comer's letter and bylined reporting from Max Rego, reflecting standard journalistic practices for committee communications. Multiple outlets (Politico, Bloomberg) corroborate that Staley received this interview request, and broader search results indicate the House investigation has expanded to include multiple banking executives and involves allegations of misconduct beyond Epstein-related transactions, including separate claims of harassment at JPMorgan. Watch for whether Staley agrees to testify and the scope of documents the committee may seek regarding JPMorgan's historical banking relationship with Epstein.
