JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPMC) CEO Jamie Dimon is slated to take the stand in the Jeffrey Epstein trial in the coming weeks, Reuters reports.

Dimon will respond to questions about his relationship with the infamous sexual predator, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing an attorney involved with the trial who broke the news Tuesday. Although an exact date has not been established, reports indicate Dimon will take the stand in May over the bank’s purported enabling of Epstein’s sex trafficking.

The bank will try to defeat a pair of lawsuits levied against them by Epstein’s accusers and the U.S. Virgin Islands, respectively, according to the outlet. Epstein owned property in the Virgin Islands and abused women there, Reuters reported in a separate article.

JPMorgan has filed suit against former Barclays boss Jes Staley over his alleged ties to the disgraced finance titan’s illegal activities, the outlet reported. Staley had a relationship with Epstein dating back to the late 2000s, according to the New York Post. He allegedly communicated with Epstein via email and may have had involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities, the outlet reported. Staley has denied any involvement with Epstein’s illegal behavior, according to Reuters.

JPMorgan attorneys will reportedly question Staley under oath in April.

“While the conduct Epstein was accused of is despicable, the lawsuits against JPMC are misplaced and without merit. The plaintiffs have made troubling allegations concerning the conduct of our former employee Jes Staley, and if true he should be held responsible for his actions,” JPMorgan said in a statement, according to The Guardian.

Lawyer Mimi Liu argued to Manhattan U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff earlier in March that Dimon purportedly knew of Jeffrey Epstein’s behavior in 2008, when Epstein first faced criminal charges.

“Jamie Dimon knew in 2008 that his billionaire client was a sex trafficker,” Liu alleged, CNBC reported at the time.

A JPMorgan lawyer challenged Liu’s allegations, specifically “the point about Jamie Dimon having any specific knowledge,” the outlet reported.

Liu argued the bank facilitated Epstein’s activities through allowing Epstein to transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars to several women without earmarking the alleged payments for suspicious activity.

JPMorgan did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
