US Senator Wants Urgent Answers from Barclays Over Jes Staley’s Ties to Jeffrey Epstein US Senator Elizabeth Warren, along with Congress members Ro Khanna and Raja Krishnamoorthi, has written a scathing letter to Barclays' chair Nigel Higgins demanding answers about how the bank handled information regarding Jes Staley's relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The senators are seeking clarification on whether Barclays adequately investigated or addressed Staley's ties to Epstein. At a UK court hearing last year, Staley attempted to overturn his banking ban.
The trial revealed that Staley downplayed his connections to Epstein, and his attempts were seemingly condoned by Barclays' top executives.
