Teachers' unions have called on the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate Apollo Global Management over its ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The unions allege the private equity giant showed a lack of candour regarding its connections to the convicted sex offender.

The request for SEC scrutiny comes amid growing pressure on financial institutions to disclose their relationships with Epstein. Apollo, one of the world's largest alternative asset managers, has faced questions about its business dealings with Epstein in the past.

This development adds to the mounting regulatory and reputational challenges facing major financial firms over their Epstein connections. The outcome of any potential SEC investigation could have significant implications for Apollo's operations and its relationships with institutional investors.
