JP Morgan boss pressed by US senator about bank’s contact with Jeffrey Epstein

Elizabeth Warren asked Jamie Dimon if he took advice from child sex offender while lobbying against UK tax on bankers’ bonuses

A leading Democratic senator has written to the JP Morgan Chase boss Jamie Dimon to request clarification on the bank’s contact with the child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Elizabeth Warren, the top Democrat on the senate banking committee, wrote to the Wall Street grandee last week to ask if he took advice from Epstein while lobbying against a UK tax on banker bonuses, in a letter published by the US senate’s banking, housing and urban affairs committee.
