JPMorgan Chase & Co is seeking documents from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as part of a lawsuit against the bank by women who say they were abused by the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. During a May 16 telephone conference, Bragg took part alongside lawyers for the victims, the bank, former JPMorgan private banking chief Jes Staley and the U.S. Virgin Islands. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff instructed Bragg to provide JPMorgan with a privilege log by Friday.
The request came to light after Deutsche Bank AG agreed to pay $75 million to settle a lawsuit by women who accused the German bank of facilitating Epstein’s sex trafficking. A spokesperson for Bragg did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and JPMorgan was not immediately available for comment.
