Ex-Barclays CEO Jes Staley lied to Congress about Epstein friendship, Democrats say

Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley appeared before a closed-door congressional committee and failed to convince lawmakers that he and Jeffrey Epstein were not friends. Democratic committee members told reporters after the hearing that Staley told "ridiculous" lies during his testimony. The probe is part of broader congressional scrutiny of Epstein's network of contacts in finance and business.
