US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he has asked the Department of Justice to investigate the alleged ties between Jeffrey Epstein and J.P. Morgan. Trump made the statement during a press conference, noting that he believes a full and transparent investigation of this matter is necessary. It was previously reported that J.P. Morgan banked Epstein from 2008 to 2013, despite suspicions of his criminal activities. The US Department of Justice has already begun to examine the situation to determine all circumstances of the bank's possible involvement.
