This is from June 2018. Then Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin, died suddenly. Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein previously visited them frequently in New York and offered to help Churkin’s son Maxim get a job at a company in New York. This claim has been made in new documents released by the US Justice Department.
Now Epstein wanted to talk to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. On June 24, 2018, Epstein emailed Norwegian leader Thorbjorn Jagland and wrote that you can tell Putin that Lavrov can talk to me, because earlier this work used to be done by Vitaly Churkin, but now he is dead. Jagland responded that he would meet with Lavrov’s assistant the following Monday and make this suggestion.
Epstein responded, ‘Churkin was very good. After our conversation he understood Trump. There is no complication in this. They should see that they have achieved something, that’s all.
What’s in the new documents released?
It was previously revealed that Epstein was interested in finding models from Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe. Now recently released documents show that he tried several times to meet or talk to senior Russian officials, including Putin. Newly released documents have generated new speculation over his intentions. These new documents show Epstein’s conversations with international leaders and Russian officials.
What did Poland’s Prime Minister Tusk say?
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a cabinet meeting this week that his country would investigate Epstein’s possible ties to Russian intelligence agencies. “More leads, more information and more commentary in the global media add to the suspicion that this unprecedented child sexual abuse scandal was carried out with the cooperation of Russian intelligence services,” Tusk said.
Tusk said, I do not need to tell you how serious the possible participation in this operation by Russian intelligence agencies could be for the security of Poland. This only means that they may have sensitive information against many leaders active even today.
What did the Kremlin say?
The Kremlin rejected claims that Epstein was a spy for Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said speculation that Epstein was under the control of Russia’s intelligence agencies could be taken either way. But it should not be taken seriously. Peskov also said that journalists should not waste their time investigating allegations of Epstein’s ties to Russian intelligence agencies.
