Controversies Entangle Political Figures and Royal Family Amidst Epstein Document Release
Newly unsealed Justice Department records referencing connections to Jeffrey Epstein have sparked controversy, implicating figures from New York City politics to the Norwegian royal family. The release of these documents has led to scrutiny and public statements addressing past associations with the deceased financier.
In New York City, a photo resurfaced showing Zohran Mamdani, a current New York City mayor, at a November 15, 2017, luncheon hosted by Peggy Siegal, a publicist with long-standing ties to Epstein, according to Fox News. The Universal Pictures "Get Out" luncheon at Lincoln Ristorante in Manhattan, was hosted by Siegal, who faced industry backlash for her connections to Epstein but was never charged with a crime.
Across the Atlantic, Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit is also facing scrutiny. According to BBC World, she is mentioned hundreds of times in the released documents between 2011 and 2014. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre publicly agreed with the Crown Princess's own assessment that she had shown "poor judgement" in her contact with Epstein. This embarrassment for the royal family comes as her son faces trial in Oslo on multiple charges, including rape and assault, BBC World reported.
The Epstein document release has triggered a wave of reactions and renewed focus on the network of individuals associated with him.
