While European governments are being decapitated by the fallout of the Epstein files, the United States remains a fortress of calculated silence. The "wildfire" is consuming cabinets and royal houses abroad, yet the source of the rot remains suspiciously quiet.

• UK 🇬🇧: The Prime Minister is teetering on resignation; the cabinet is in total shambles.

• Norway 🇳🇴: A former PM is under criminal investigation; the WEF is probing an ex-Foreign Minister; two diplomats have fled their posts; the Royal Family is stained.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit was first linked to Epstein in 2019, but new documents seem to reveal a much closer friendship than previously reported.

Emails between the princess and the paedophile reveal a warm relationship between 2011 and 2014, well after his release from prison in 2009 for child sex offences.

• Slovakia 🇸🇰: The National Security Adviser forced into a hasty exit.

• Sweden 🇸🇪: A high-ranking UN-linked diplomat forced to resign.

• France 🇫🇷: A former Minister of Culture/Education is under the microscope after being ousted from the Arab World Institute.

• USA 🇺🇸: The epicenter of the scandal remains silent.

Who are they protecting?
