A prince, an ambassador, senior diplomats, top politicians. All brought down by the Jeffrey Epstein files. And all in Europe, rather than the United States.
The huge trove of Epstein documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice has sent shock waves through Europe’s political, economic and social elites — dominating headlines, ending careers and spurring political and criminal investigations.
Former U.K. Ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson was fired and could go to prison. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces a leadership crisis over the Mandelson appointment. Senior figures have fallen in Norway, Sweden and Slovakia. And, even before the latest batch of files, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, brother of King Charles III, lost his honors, princely title and taxpayer-funded mansion.
They released this tranche of Epstein files Friday, January 30, 2026 – the same day many people across the US were spontaneously protesting against ICE.
It’s one thing when you feed the drama mill and send everyone scurrying for whatever little tidbits of meat there are to find in a set of dead files.
It’s quite another when across all fifty states people are just showing up voluntarily to reject your claim to power.
Don’t be deceived. They released them when they did and in the way they did because the Epstein files, as bad as they are and as wide in scope as they reach, are by far the LESSER danger to this regime and their absolute need to stay in power.
