Jes Staley took the witness box for the first time on a Monday at the start of the second week of a high-profile legal challenge in London .

The 68-year-old is trying to overturn the Financial Conduct Authority’s decision to issue him with a lifetime ban from the City.

Staley said he was not given the opportunity to properly account for his side of the story, particularly how the relationship with the late financier developed after Staley became head of JP Morgan's ( JPM ) private bank where Epstein was a client in the early 2000s .
