NEW YORK CITY: JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jamie Dimon must undergo up to two days of questioning by lawyers handling lawsuits over whether the bank can be held liable in financier Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of teenage girls and women, a federal judge said Tuesday.

During a telephone conference with lawyers, Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan ordered Dimon to set aside two days for deposition testimony, though he did not specify when. He said one day of testimony might be sufficient and lawyers would have to get his approval to continue to a second day.
