How Deep Was the Jeffrey Epstein-Jes Staley Friendship?

Twelve years on, and four years after Jeffrey Epstein’s death in a Manhattan jail by suicide, the details of how former Barclays Chief Executive Officer Jes Staley and the convicted sex offender formed a mutually beneficial bond are only now becoming clear. This comes as Staley faces a lawsuit by JPMorgan and a British regulatory probe. The litigation has unearthed a trove of documents that reveal the extent of the relationship. Reporters Harry Wilson, Jonathan Browning and Ava Benny-Morrison reviewed thousands of pages of documents and emails, as well as conducted interviews with people with knowledge of the events, to construct a detailed timeline of the relationship. They join this week’s In the City to discuss the reporting process and their findings. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
