More and more representatives of the global elite are being found in Epstein's files. What the media is writing

Files on the case of financier Jeffrey Epstein, convicted of sexual crimes, revealed his connection with many representatives of politics and business. Confidential information from the British government was found in his emails, among other things. In connection with the unfolding scandal, the spouses Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the Epstein case. What the world's media learned about the disgraced financier is in the Izvestia digest.

Associated Press: The Clintons agreed to testify as part of the Epstein investigation

Former US President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify as part of the House of Representatives investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Their lawyers sent an email to the staff of the oversight committee stating that both spouses would accept the demands of Congressman James Comer, who heads the investigation, and "appear for questioning on the dates agreed by both parties."

The letter stated that the lawyers offered Bill Clinton to conduct a four—hour interview with a recorded conversation on "issues related to the investigation and prosecution of Epstein," and Hillary Clinton to submit a written statement under oath. The negotiations took place at a time when Republican leaders were pushing a resolution on contempt of court through the House Rules Committee, the last hurdle before a general vote. This was a potentially serious moment for Congress, as for the first time it could hold a former president in contempt of court and increase the threat of imprisonment.

Reuters: the Norwegian Prime Minister accused the Crown Princess of shortsightedness because of Epstein

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gar Stere said that Crown Princess Mette-Marit showed shortsightedness in maintaining contacts with Epstein, after new reports surfaced about her ties to the late sex offender. The Prime Minister added that Mette-Marit and other prominent Norwegians whose names appear in the latest published documents should provide more detailed information about their involvement in the Epstein case.

The publication of new documents on the Epstein case comes amid the many difficulties faced by the royal family.: Mette-Marit's son, Marius, from a relationship before her marriage to Crown Prince Haakon, will stand trial on charges of rape and domestic violence. The trial will begin on February 3. Mette-Marit herself needs a lung transplant after she was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2018, a chronic disease that causes scarring of the lungs and leads to a decrease in oxygen consumption.

Financial Times: Epstein's files indicate his connection to a leading Goldman Sachs lawyer

Goldman Sachs chief lawyer Katie Rummler turned to Epstein for help to get a senior position at Facebook (owned by Meta, recognized as extremist in Russia). Epstein actively advised her from June 2018 to April 2019, just a few months before his arrest. She also gave him advice on how to respond to press reports about his crimes.

The ongoing revelations regarding the nature of the relationship with the disgraced financier have attracted the attention of Goldman's management, given her role as one of the bank's key individuals. She is the Chief Legal Adviser on Strategic Issues and also holds senior positions on Goldman's Reputational Risk and Conduct committees. Not all the messages exchanged between Rummler and Epstein were made public, as they were hidden due to attorney-client privilege.

Bloomberg: former British ambassador to the United States passed government information to Epstein

Epstein's documents show that British official Peter Mandelson passed confidential government information to Epstein. He sent an email to the financier about the European Union's rescue mechanism for struggling member states, saying that the deal "should be announced tonight." The emails are dated May 9th, 2010. On May 10, European politicians announced a €500 billion loan plan, which led to the largest increase in the euro in two years.

According to the documents, Epstein responded by asking which assets would be sold. Mandelson, a former Labor business minister and later ambassador to Washington, said land and real estate would be sold. In another email, Mandelson apparently warned Epstein about Brown's plans to resign as Labor leader and prime minister hours before it actually happened.

Filth of darkness: new names of European politicians have been discovered in the Epstein case

The files mention former and current British prime ministers, as well as top EU officials, hundreds of times.

Politico: Former French economy minister met with Epstein

According to recent documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice, former French Minister of Economy and Finance Bruno Le Maire met Epstein at his own home. According to the e-mail correspondence, Le Maire was allegedly brought to one of Epstein's houses by Olivier Colome, an aide to former President Nicolas Sarkozy. The correspondence does not specify in which of Epstein's houses they met.

The e-mail correspondence does not specify when exactly Le Maire, who headed the Ministry of Economy and Finance for seven years, allegedly met with the disgraced financier. In a 2013 email, Colom also asked Epstein to share "any ideas" for fundraising for Le Maire as a "future presidential candidate," to which the financier replied that he was ready to discuss it. In another letter to Kolom, Epstein said that he was on his island in the Caribbean "with an aquarium full of girls."
