Before the United States and Israel launched their war on Iran five days ago, the fallout from files released by the US Department of Justice on the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were reverberating around the world.
They ensnared a former British royal,Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and the former United Kingdom Ambassador to the US,Peter Mandelson, with both being arrested, rocking the Keir Starmer government.
Israel’s former Prime MinisterEhud Barakand numerous others have also faced intense scrutiny. Epstein’s deep links to Israel have prompted further allegations that he was an active Mossad spy.
And several leading figures in the US have resigned posts over connections to the disgraced financier.
US Secretary of CommerceHoward Lutnickhas agreed to give testimony to lawmakers about his ties to Epstein, the head of a committee investigating the late sex offender has said Tuesday.
Last week, Bill Clinton told lawmakers he “saw nothing that gave me pause” when he spent time with Epstein, as the former president gaveclosed-door testimony
His wife, former Secretary of StateHillary Clinton, testified before the same panel the day before.
But all those reverberations and revelations have sharply shifted once the bombs started raining down on Iran.
On Sunday, Republican US Congressman Thomas Massie, who helped push the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act through Congress last year, said, “Bombing a country on the other side of the globe won’t make the Epstein files go away.” He has also been critical of the war.
