JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon testified that he never heard of Jeffrey Epstein until 2019, the year the disgraced financier died in his jail cell awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.

Dimon was asked during a May 26 deposition in two lawsuits accusing JPMorgan of knowingly benefiting from Epstein’s sex-trafficking when he first became aware that Epstein had been a client of the bank.
