Newly disclosed U.S. government files on Jeffrey Epstein have prompted the resignation of a top official in Slovakia and revived calls in Britain for a former prince to share what he knows with authorities about Epstein’s links to powerful individuals around the world.
The fallout comes just a day after the Justice Department began releasing a massive trove of files that offers more details about Epstein’s interactions with the rich and famous after he served time for sex crimes in Florida.
The prime minister of Slovakia accepted the resignation on Saturday of an official, Miroslav Lajcak, who once had a yearlong term as president of the U.N. General Assembly. Lajcak wasn’t accused of wrongdoing but left his position after photos and emails revealed he had met with Epstein in the years after Epstein was released from jail.
The disclosures also have revived questions about whether long-time Epstein friend Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, should cooperate with U.S. authorities investigating Epstein.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Saturday suggested Mountbatten-Windsor should tell American investigators whatever he knows about Epstein’s activities. The former prince has so far ignored a request from members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee for a “transcribed interview” about his “long-standing friendship” with Epstein.
As an American this totally blows my fucking mind. How can someone in power step down amid corruption and crimes?
It’s weird seeing that in some countries people are still accountable.
Trump is running around right now boasting that the files prove is innocence.
The same files that seem to implicate him in unimaginable crimes.
I’m truly curious what he thinks they absolve him of.
Because once he tells us that, we know one more thing he did.
He knows there’s video and photographic evidence and relative to that, he views notes from a detective talking to an anonymous tipper as proof it’s all made up. Or he believes his followers will view it that way, at least.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Hopefully they learned, from the US, what happens when you don’t hold the powerful accountable.
Thank you for bringing back one of the OG demotivation posters that I downloaded on my 56k modem in 1994
Is he hanging?
Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew, now the Peter Pen of Epstein Island.
He is 100% going to cooperate…
