What Jeffrey Epstein's bank knew


Listen Later

Six years after his death in prison, sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues to dominate the news.

A House committee has released a suggestive note sent to Epstein for his 50th birthday that is signed "Donald J. Trump." The White House continues to deny now President Trump wrote or signed it.

Separately, a New York Times investigation tracked Epstein's relationship to the country's leading bank, JPMorgan Chase. It concludes that the bank enabled his sex crimes, even as evidence against him piled up.

Times reporter Matt Goldstein explains.
