JPMorgan Chase is resisting attempts made by lawyers to question Jamie Dimon under oath over the company’s decision to retain Jeffrey Epstein as a client for 15 years, Joe Miller and Joshua Franklin of The Financial Times reports. While it has been agreed for one of Dimon’s key lieutenants to be deposed, lawyers for the lender argue they do not believe Dimon was an "appropriate deponent," the Times said, citing documents filed to a New York court. These developments are related to two civil cases that allege JPMorgan knowingly facilitated Epstein’s pay-offs to victims and accomplices who help recruit young girls. Reference Link
