US EditionDalai Lama’s Office Denies Any Meeting with Jeffrey Epstein Amid File Mentions
The Dalai Lama’s office rejects claims of meetings with Epstein amidst 169 file mentions, labeling references incidental without evidence of personal contact, amid alleged disinformation campaigns.
- On Feb. 8, 2026, the Dalai Lama's office in Dharamsala issued a statement denying any meetings or interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, posted on his official X account.
- Following the Jan. 30 DOJ release, searches of the files triggered intense media attention as China Global Television Network cited 169 Dalai Lama mentions in the tranche of more than three million documents, over 2,000 videos, and around 180,000 photographs.
- AFP search of the DOJ files found 154 results mentioning the Dalai Lama but no evidence of a meeting, while 2012 and 2015 emails show attempts or name-dropping, not confirmed contact.
- The Dalai Lama's office pushed the denial to blunt mounting speculation, emphasising this to counter spreading social media and news claims; meanwhile, Congress reviews records as Tibetan communities face reputational challenges.
- Coinciding with the Dalai Lama's Grammy recognition, analysts say China's state media and CGTN amplified the claim early, exemplifying Beijing's institutional narrative-engineering programs.
