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.

    “Why isn’t the US government prosecuting the pedophilic billionaire death cult?”

      Shame if international agents swarmed America to capture all these pedo billionaires.

        It’s a shame that the US population is STILL waiting for someone else to come and fix the quagmire they have gotten themselves into.

          And it’s a shame that the rest of the world is waiting for the US population to fix this quagmire. When has a fascist movement ever been taken down from the inside, or been contained just in one country?

      yeah, like any good gangster tramp hires nobody he hasn’t some leverage over. They’re all covering for each other’s bodies in the closet.
