Overview
- The House Oversight Committee released the transcript on Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2026, of Staley’s voluntary closed-door interview that was held on July 24.
- Staley told lawmakers he repeatedly shared confidential, market-sensitive JPMorgan details with Epstein, including the bank’s talks with the Federal Reserve during the 2008 crisis, a $44 billion two-week inflow figure, his own pay, and pending deal information.
- He confirmed signing trust-related documents in 2014 and a 2015 amendment that tied him to Epstein’s estate but said he later declined to serve and received no compensation.
- Staley denied knowing about Epstein’s crimes and rejected wrongdoing, though his past ties prompted a British regulator probe that preceded his 2021 resignation from Barclays.
- The transcript joins other interviews the committee has released and follows the Justice Department’s mass document release that mentions Staley thousands of times, a record that could prompt further regulatory reviews and potential follow-up hearings.
