JPMorgan Chase, which has been sued by women alleging the bank enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking by maintaining him as a client for years, sought to compel the Manhattan District Attorney’s office to turn over records as part of that lawsuit. The bank issued subpoenas to District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office for statements made by one of the alleged victims to a prosecutor and other documents that might be relevant to JPMorgan’s defense and its own claims against former executive Jes Staley, who had a friendship with Epstein. JPMorgan argued these records were necessary for its case and that the DA’s office could not shield them through claims of privilege or grand jury secrecy. A federal judge agreed that certain records must be provided to the bank, ruling that the DA’s assertions of privilege did not apply to the specific statements sought.
The bank’s efforts to obtain these prosecutor records reflected its broader legal strategy to show it lacked liability and to push back against allegations that it turned a blind eye to Epstein’s criminal conduct. By insisting on access to the DA’s files, JPMorgan aimed to uncover information about what prosecutors knew and when, potentially undermining accusations that the bank failed to act despite warning signs. The ruling that the Manhattan DA’s office must hand over some of these documents marked a significant moment in civil litigation tied to Epstein’s network, highlighting how transactional discovery in Epstein-related lawsuits can reach into prosecutors’ investigatory materials under certain legal conditions.
