Ex-Barclays CEO Denies Snow White Encounter Amid Epstein Inquiry

Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley has denied engaging in sexual activity with a woman dressed as Snow White, a claim that emerged during a closed-door interview with U.S. lawmakers. The questioning was part of an ongoing investigation into the former banker's connections with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Transcripts released from the interview reveal Staley was pressed about an email exchange concerning Disney princesses with Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while facing child sex-trafficking charges.

This denial comes as Staley faces scrutiny over his relationship with Epstein and the nature of their communications. The investigation aims to uncover the extent of Epstein's network and any potential complicity or knowledge of his activities by associates. The specific details of the Snow White claim and its relevance to the broader Epstein investigation remain under examination.
