The U.S. Department of Justice’s release of 3.5 million pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents on January 30 has sparked a wave of international investigations. The files, which include references to high-profile figures across multiple countries, have drawn scrutiny from governments and law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Poland’s Probe into Local Connections
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced this week the formation of a special team to investigate potential links between Polish nationals and Epstein’s network. Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek confirmed that released documents contain Polish names and references to activities within the country. "We must determine whether Polish citizens, particularly minors, were victimized," Zurek stated, while acknowledging challenges in securing U.S. cooperation.
UK Scrutinizes Former Ambassador
London’s Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into Peter Mandelson, former UK ambassador to the U.S., over allegations of misconduct tied to Epstein. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the alleged leaks of market-sensitive information to Epstein during the 2008 financial crisis as "disgraceful." Mandelson resigned from the House of Lords hours after the probe was announced.
Clintons to Testify Before Congress
US House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer confirmed that Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify on February 26 and 27, respectively, about their connections to Epstein. The depositions follow a paused contempt vote that could have led to criminal charges. House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized the need for "full cooperation" from the Clintons, though public testimony details remain unresolved.
