Democrats Prepare to Investigate JPMorgan's Financial Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein (11/6/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Now that the Democrats have taken the House
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and the Senate, it's time for them to live up
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to some of the promises that they made. And one
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of the biggest promises that they made was that they
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: were going to investigate the Epstein criminal empire in a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: robust fashion. And according to sources, that's going to start
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: with them going after the banks. And look, that is
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a great place to start. Because as far as I'm concerned,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: if you're going to find crime, that's the place to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: do it. And that's because there's going to be a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: paper trail, right? There's going to be evidence, contemporaneous and otherwise.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And the people that were involved in giving Epstein that money,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the people that were involved in moving it, and the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: people that were involved in laundering it, they should all
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: be held accountable. I know people who have went to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: prison because for 15, 20 years for wire fraud. You
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: mean to tell me that none of these people were
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: engaging in any of that? You mean to tell me
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: that Epstein didn't manipulate the immigration system? Fuck out of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: here with that nonsense. So even if you're one of
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: these idiots who doesn't believe that there was widespread trafficking,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: how can you deny the financial aspect of it? Unless,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of course, you're carrying water for this doomed administration. Then
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I could see that, you know, like bitch asses like
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Dan Bongino. But short of that, I have no idea
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: how anyone could possibly think that there were no crimes
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: being committed. So today, we have an article from the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: New York Post and the headline, Dems could grill JP
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Morgan on Jeffrey Epstein ties once they take control of Congress.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Committee crows, let's fucking go. So I just want everybody
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to understand that I plan on holding them To these promises.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: This is what they said they're going to do, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they damn well better. Or else they're going to be
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in for the same treatment that the Trump administration's getting.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I have no time for bullshit, and the time for
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: political games with this topic has long ago passed. Now
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it's time for accountability. Now it's time for full transparency.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And anybody getting in the way of that is on
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the clock. This article was authored by Taylor Herzlick. Democrats
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: are reportedly preparing to investigate J.P. Morgan's banking relationship with
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and are considering
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: hauling execs at other Wall Street giants before Congress once
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: they take control in January. Do it. Don't just talk
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: about it. Do it. All that nonsense about how they're
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: going to regulate, about how they're going after the richest
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: people in the world. about they're going to hold people accountable.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: This is your chance. These people have been served up
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: on a platter at this point. The question is, will
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: these Democrats that have been elected do what they say
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: they're going to do, or are they going to pull
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the rug out from under us? The Senate Finance Committee,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Democrats are planning to scrutinize how executives at the nation's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: largest bank handled Epstein, who was a major client of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the bank, For about 15 years, CNBC reported on Thursday,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: citing anonymous sources, and JP Morgan has no one to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: blame but themselves. They knew what Epstein was. They knew
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: what he was doing. And they kept doing business with him.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't just Epstein. It was everybody in his network.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We're talking about the girls. We're talking about Ghislaine. Everybody
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: had accounts. And all those accounts were receiving ill-gotten gains.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So tell me how this is not Rico. Oh, that's right.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You can tell me it's not Rico because it most
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: certainly is. Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: cell in 2019, weeks after being charged with human trafficking.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: He also pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in 2008, five years before J.P. Morgan finally dropped him.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: That whole entire comment, that whole entire statement is fucking disgusting.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Can somebody explain to me how a child can be
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: considered a prostitute? There is no such scenario anywhere. That
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: has ever been presented to anyone. In history. Where that's acceptable.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: But yet we hear it all the time. Oh he
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: was nailed for child prostitution. No. He was nailed. For
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: having sex with children. Preying upon children. Being a child molester.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That's what he was nailed for. And the whole entire
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: reason that he was given that deal. Was so that
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: people later on down the road. Meaning now. Could say
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: oh look it wasn't that bad. Come on you guys.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: This is all blown out of proportion, and that's all
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: part of the cover story. And the fact that people
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: can't see that is wild to me, because it's not
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that difficult to untangle. Senior congressional Dems have reportedly been
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: studying a lefty think tank's 181-page dossier penned by former
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: staffers of Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of Vermont. The document from the Groundwork Collaborative argues Democrats
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: should focus on a broader swath of investigations than ones
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: aired in the news to date, according to the Washington Sun. Yo, look,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I can't disagree with that. How long have I been
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: saying that there needs to be a deep, deep investigation?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'm talking robust. That goes into everything. Everything that has
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to do with Epstein, and not just this administration, by
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the way, going all the way back, because the failure
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: runs deep, and we need to get to the very
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: beginning and work forward from there. And everybody that's been
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: involved from the beginning... needs to be called before a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: special counsel and answer some real questions. Instead of targeting
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: President Trump's gift of a jet from Qatar reflecting pool
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: renovation or a White House ballroom construction, Dems should question
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: executives for healthcare, tech, energy, and Wall Street sectors about
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the current cost of living crisis, the document argued. Well,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that would be smart. This can't look like some kind
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of witch hunt. It can't look like we're getting political retribution.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That's not the way to govern. And I hope the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Democrats don't do that. I've told you that previously. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: want them to be targeted. If there is criminality, if
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: there is corruption, go after it. But don't just do
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: shit and blow political capital on dumb nonsense, especially when
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it comes to executive orders, because the next president is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: just going to write those away. They don't mean shit.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: What exactly is Trump codified? That's what we should be
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: talking about. Because things that have been codified, that's the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: stuff with staying power. But Trump, this guy has pretty
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: much governed by Penn. So everything that he's done pretty
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: much can just be waved away. But in my opinion,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's obvious that there's a cover-up going on
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the Epstein files. And I think
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that's a great entry point for the rest of the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: corruption that's obviously happening. Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: who's married to the owner of NYC's Strand Bookstore, is
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: currently the ranking member of the Finance Committee and could
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: take the chairman position in January. On Tuesday, as Democrats
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: around the country flipped the congressional seats, Wyden shared a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: suggestive one-word remark on ex-subpoenas. Democratic members of the Finance Committee,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: who have their own account, replied, let's fucking go. And look,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: let's fucking go. I've already told you a million times.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I don't trust any of these politicians. But that doesn't
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: mean I'm not willing to use them to get where
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: we're trying to go. Because if you think they're not
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: trying to use this topic for their own gain, you're crazy.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So that door swings both ways. And if they want
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to win my trust, they have to do everything they
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: say when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. In the Epstein case,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Democrats are planning to target decisions made by Mary Callahan Erdos,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the chief executive of J.P. Morgan's, Wealth Management Division, according
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to CNBC. Erdos has testified that she was aware as
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: early as 2006 that Epstein was accused of paying for
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: underage girls to be brought to his home. She didn't
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: cut off ties with Epstein as a client until 2013.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: She's another one. Remember the emails that they were sending
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: back and forth at JP Morgan about Jeffrey Epstein and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: what he was? So they have no leg to stand on.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And they've already been outed in the lawsuit with the USVI.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So Congress has a ton of documents to work with already.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And if they start firing off subpoenas and bringing people in,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: that mountain's going to grow. The U.S. government had damning
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: information about Epstein's crimes that it failed to share with
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: us or other banks. A J.P. Morgan spokesperson told the Post,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that's true too. Both can be true at the same time, right?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: They were all working in coordination. The bank knew that
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the government wasn't going to poke around So they were
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: willing to work with Epstein. And when I tell you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that Epstein wasn't working alone or that he couldn't be
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: working alone, this is what I mean. There were people
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: in the government that were helping him. Now, I'm not
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: going to sit here and tell you that the CIA
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: had a meeting and they brought everybody in and they
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: were like, OK, here's what we're going to do. We're
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: going to create Jeffrey Epstein. This shit was a black op.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It was run off the books, just like Iran Contra.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Same kind of shit. And that's what the CIA does.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: They compartmentalize. The right hand never knows what the left
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: hand's doing until they need to know. And the banks
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: were aware of this, whether they were told or not.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And that's why they were willing to play ball with Epstein.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: because they thought they would never have to answer for it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: We regret any association we had with him, but we
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: did not help him commit his crimes. In 2023, J.P. Morgan, CEO,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Jamie Dimon, testified that Erdos had the authority to drop Epstein.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Jess Staley, the ex-J.P. Morgan executive, who admitted to having
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: sex with an Epstein staffer, you mean girl that he
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: was abusing, right? You mean a girl that was being trafficked, right?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: That's what you mean? Also testified that Erdos had full
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: authority to remove Epstein as a client earlier, but failed
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to do so. Just six months after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Erdos reportedly turned to Epstein for help as the Bernie
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Madoff Ponzi scheme wreaked havoc for the firm's clients. According
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to court documents filed, by the U.S. Virgin Islands in
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a 2023 lawsuit against J.P. Morgan. Erdos emailed Staley and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: asked him to call Epstein, the doc said. Well, that's
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Epstein's role. Epstein was the king of finding money. Let's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: not forget what he was used for. And let's not
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: forget where he came from. Mimi Liu, co-lead counsel for
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the U.S. Virgin Islands in the case, told a federal
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: judge in 2023 that J.P. Morgan was a full-service bank
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: for Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking, arguing the institution waited to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: notify the government of his suspicious transactions until after he
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: killed himself. You mean until after he died. This was
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a CYA reporting after 16 years of all the monies
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: flowing in his JP Morgan accounts after he was dead,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Liu added. That's a fact. And that's something they should
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: be held accountable for. They should have been filing those
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: SARs as they were coming in. JP Morgan paid $ 75
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: million to settle the lawsuit brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: which alleged the bank benefited from the sex trafficking of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Epstein's victims. The bank also agreed to a $ 290 million
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: settlement with Epstein's victims. It did not admit wrongdoing in
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the settlements. Boy, that's quite the hoax, huh? These women
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: must have mind control over people. Like in Friday, I
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: got mind control over the banks. When they hear, I'm quiet,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but when they leave, I'll be talking again. I mean, really?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: A hoax? So stupid. The banks don't pay out this
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: kind of money if it's a hoax, okay? The bank
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: has blamed Staley, who left J.P. Morgan in 2013 and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: later became CEO of Barclays before stepping down in 2021
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: for failing to report criminal activity related to Jeffrey Epstein.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Staley is denied being aware of Epstein's crimes. In 2025,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: he testified in London court that Epstein knew more about
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: what was going on at the top levels of the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: bank than he did, saying the sex criminal had a
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: remarkable ability to gather Wall Street intel. Well, yeah, when
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: he has everybody on the fucking payroll, when he's giving
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: everybody information, when he's blackmailing people, not that difficult, is it?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: After grilling Staley during a closed-door interview in July, House
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Oversight Committee James Comer said Staley defended Epstein and encouraged
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: JP Morgan to keep him on as a client despite
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: red flags. In August, Wyden, the possible new finance chair,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: accused executives at multiple banks of looking the other way
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and shielding Epstein during his years of sex trafficking. The
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice has been releasing Epstein files since late 2025,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of pages showing the sex criminal's communication
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: with powerful politicians, celebrities, and financiers. The trove of documents
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: also includes previously unseen photos of Epstein with A-listers and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: high-profile figures, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, former
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: President Bill Clinton, and President Trump. So look, this is
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the way to go. And if they're going to have investigations,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and they're going to have committees, they should start here.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Especially after talking such a big game about the financial
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: sector and their enabling of Epstein. So, this is just
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: heating up, folks, and this story, obviously, is not going
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: away anytime soon. And now that the ball is in
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the Democrats' court, the question is, what are they going
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to do with it? All the information that goes with
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: this episode can be found in the description box.
