AXIOS (Rebecca Falconer) - Inside Epstein's efforts to influence elites, from U.K. to Russia and beyond

The Justice Department's release of millions of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein shows how he worked to cultivate a vast web of influence among the global elite before and well after his 2008 conviction.

Yesterday he voiced what many Labour MPs have been saying privately for months and called openly for the beleaguered Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign. “Too many mistakes,” he…Open

AXIOS (Avery Lotz) - Europe is confronting its Epstein shame. Trump wants to move on.

The avalanche of Epstein files released by the Justice Department has buried high-ranking European government officials with ties to the convicted sex offender in shame. - In the U.S., some powerful people have faced public scrutiny — but have so far avoided professional consequences for their dealings with the late financier.
