"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."
The U.S. Justice Department released more than three million pages, over 2,000 videos and about 180,000 images tied to two decades of investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. The material includes Epstein's contacts and email correspondence with prominent individuals, including a former Trump adviser and business figures. Photos and emails showed Slovak official Miroslav Lajcak met with Epstein after Epstein's jail release, prompting Lajcak's resignation. The disclosures renewed calls in Britain for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (Prince Andrew) to cooperate with U.S. investigators and to provide a transcribed interview regarding his long-standing friendship with Epstein.
