The Norwegian Parliament on Wednesday examined the relationships between Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious sex offender, and Norwegian diplomats and politicians. This action is aimed at clarifying and shedding light on various aspects of these connections and could have wide-ranging effects on Norway's public image.
Summoning Key Ministers
The Parliamentary Committee on Oversight and Constitutional Affairs has summoned 11 ministers, including Jonas Gahr Støre, the former prime minister, and the current and former ministers of foreign affairs and development. These public hearings are being held to more closely investigate the relationships between these officials and Epstein.
