Senator Elizabeth Warren has demanded that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon explain whether he lobbied the UK government on the advice of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, specifically regarding a proposed tax on bankers' bonuses, according to the Financial Times.
Warren's letter presses Dimon on any links with Epstein over the tax matter. The FT reported: "US Senator Elizabeth Warren demands JPMorgan boss explain any links with paedophile over proposed tax on bankersā bonuses" :: ft.com This request adds to the scrutiny of Dimon's past associations with Epstein, who was a client of JPMorgan.
The FT noted that Warren's inquiry focuses on whether Dimon used Epstein as a conduit for lobbying the UK government on the bonus tax. JPMorgan has already faced questions about its relationship with Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
The demand underscores the ongoing fallout from the Epstein scandal, as lawmakers seek to understand the extent of his influence in financial and political circles. Warren's letter, which asks for a detailed response, signals that the issue remains a priority for the Senate Banking Committee member.
