]]> NEW YORK, Nov 9 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge is weighing final approval of JPMorgan Chase’s (JPM.N) $290 million settlement with women who said Jeffrey Epstein abused them, and that the largest U.S. bank turned a blind eye to the late financier’s sex trafficking.

At a hearing in Manhattan federal court on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff appeared skeptical of an objection to the settlement by 16 U.S. states and Washington D.C., which said it could limit their ability to seek damages arising from sex trafficking by Epstein and his associates.

James Grayson, a lawyer for New Mexico, said in court the state has an ongoing investigation into the matter, without providing further details. Epstein owned a ranch in New Mexico, where some women have said he abused them.

Grayson said he was concerned JPMorgan could seek to block claims states may bring in the future.

]]> Walmart is also reportedly contributing some $3 billion.

Three major companies reached an agreement to pay over $12 billion to settle a host of litigation related to the distribution of opioids, Bloomberg Law first reported Wednesday.

The suit agreement is intended to encapsulate lawsuits brought by various state and local governments — if the governmental bodies themselves agree to it.

“We are pleased to resolve these longstanding claims and putting them behind us is in the best interest of all parties, as well as our customers, colleagues and shareholders,” said Thomas Moriarty, chief policy officer and general counsel at CVS Health said in a statement.

The suit was filed by six attorneys generals and contends that pharmacies did not pay enough heed to opioid prescription issues.

This is one of several legal battles related to the opioid crisis. In February, distributors such as Johnson & Johnson agreed to pay $25 billion for contributing to the epidemic.
