Epstein Files Reveal Extensive Russian Contacts, Putin Meeting Attempts

DOJ files show Epstein sought leverage through recruiting Russian women and arranging meetings with Putin, suggesting espionage and kompromat linked to global influence operations.

  • On Thursday, the Kremlin rejected claims Jeffrey Epstein was a Russian spy, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying `I would like to joke about such versions, but let's not waste our time.`
  • The latest document release indicates US Department of Justice files mention Russia thousands of times and feature Vladimir Putin heavily, with Epstein seeking meetings with him and efforts to bring Russian women to the US and Europe.
  • Warsaw announced it would probe Epstein's links to Russian intelligence, with Tusk saying on Tuesday `he gave no evidence for his assertions`.
  • Rebuffing the reports, Russian officials said the claims distract from a scandal exposing hypocrisy, and no major news organisations have published definitive proof Epstein worked for intelligence.
  • The records show Epstein repeatedly sought meetings with Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, though no evidence confirms a meeting, and contacted young Russian women including a 26-year-old he aimed to introduce to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
