A Bloomberg report did not say former U.S. President Barack Obama was late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s “middle man,” despite online posts that misrepresent the article on revelations from court filings by JPMorgan Chase and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
A post on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter, said: “BREAKING: President Obama has been named as Jeffrey Epstein’s middle man to JP Morgan according to Bloomberg” (here).
Some posts link to an Aug. 16 Bloomberg report with the headline, “Epstein Tapped JPMorgan to Help Goldman Lawyer Open Account” (here).
The report mentions a “former Obama White House lawyer,” but it does not name Obama as Epstein’s so-called “middle man” to JPMorgan.
